Michelin Alpin 5 tyres

Michelin Alpin 5

The Michelin Alpin 5 is the new Michelin flagship model in the winter tyre segment and guarantees optimal standards of safety in the most extreme of winter weather conditions. Though British winters don't often require motorists to drive in heavy ice and snow, the Michelin Alpin 5 is ideal for anyone wishing to use their vehicle in remote or mountainous areas where snowfall is higher. And let's not forget that even dry cold weather places extra demand on the tyres. In this regard, a special rubber compound is responsible for the Alpin 5's resilience.

The Michelin Alpin 5 drives just as safely on dry and wet roads as it does on snow. Responsible for this is an innovative tread profile that contains improvements over the tyre's predecessor. The wide-cut tread with significantly increased void ratio allows the tyre to bite into snowy ground, while a high number of sipes create maximum traction on snow and ice (the Michelin Alpin 5 has 16% more sipes than the Alpin 4). The lateral grooves have been repositioned to optimise the tyre's anti-hydroplaning performance.

The Michelin Alpin also offers an impressive steering response. The winter tyre's special tread pattern features a self-blocking function that increases the area of contact with the road. Meanwhile, the high proportion of silica in the elastomer-containing rubber compound improves the tyre's driving behaviour on wet roads by enhancing its grip. In order to maintain this benefit at lower temperatures, the rubber compound also contains sunflower oil.
