Pilot Alpin 5 Tyres description & features

The Alpin 5 is a premium winter tyre from Michelin, built to target winter braking and traction on wet and snowy roads. The directional V-shaped tread design disperses water and slush away from the centre of the tread. A V-shape is created by a central channel and an outer layer of angled groove vis. The block tread is built with 3D self-locking sipes which Michelin call their StabiliGrip technology, and the sipes interlocking walls help to support the tread during cornering. The Alpin 5 is built with a unique silica compound enriched with functional polymer that helps the tread remain flexible during low temperature.

The Alpin 5 replaced the Alpin PA4 in the winter performance range of Michelin. Some derivatives must be fitted to meet original equipment manufacturer requirements, as they are marked N0 and with the BMW star on the sidewall. The Pilot Alpin 5 SUV is the SUV option. Tyres.co.uk sells the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 245/40R19

For a front-wheel drive, traction in snow is pretty good. Outstanding braking performance. As anticipated, these winter tyres change the vehicle's dynamics. Although the handling is softer because of the 50 profile, it can still manage corners well without understeering. In sport mode with DCC it can feel a bit bouncy, but that's winter tyres for you. Overall, very happy; a clear step up from the Davanti Wintoura, and new tyres always feel good.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 245/40R19

I recommend these tyres if you own a Model 3. If you're a Model 3 driver and considering moving up a size, these tyres are great for me. I used to have PA4s and the 5s are definitely quieter. They offer great handling on my RWD. Moving up a size will impact range but I have recorded a good bump of 5-15Wh/km. The bigger size has improved my ride quality because of the improved handling when going over potholes. Although don't expect it to entirely make up for firm suspension. The extra width did help avoid minor kerb damage to my wheels (though if you hit the kerb hard enough, no tyre will protect your wheels). Considering all of this and that I got them for around £1300, that great price makes me recommend these over the factory options every time.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 275/35R19

They meet my expectations. I have had the Pilot Alpin 4s and although the PA5s appear to have a bit less grip on ice than the PA4s it is hard to be certain. The Nokian R5s had better grip on ice and snow but were quite noisy. The PA5s give a feeling more like all season tyres and are quiet on the motorway.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 275/35R19

These tyres do a decent job with moving and stopping. However, during snow and ice conditions, they struggle to maintain grip when turning. They are extremely pricey, and there are better options from a price to performance perspective, but for the moment, they get the job done.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 215/55R18

These tyres have done an exceptional job all year, considering that in my area, it has snowed and iced a lot and the roads don't get treated or cleared very often. These tyres handled the rural icy and snow covered roads excellently.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 215/55R18

These tyres greatly differ in how they manage cold and wet conditions. In high-performance summer tyres, these ones are by far better in handling the wet conditions. Despite the road being wet, the car feels stable and does not lose it's grip which by the way, I do not ease up on the speed.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 215/55R18

I purchased these tyres for my Golf R specifically for winter use, and I wanted a high-performance, winter-snow-weather-friendly option. I limited tested them on some snowy mountain roads and they had superb grip and comfort and low noise levels in a snow, wet, and dry variety of conditions. Initially, I was initially a little cautious about grip in the first couple of hundred kilometres, but it seemed to improve (probably from removing any manufacturing residue). I think these tyres have a very nice attractive design on the sidewall, if that matters to you.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 245/40R19

These winter tyres do okay for my rear-wheel drive Jaguar F-Type, but snow traction could be better than I was hoping for.
