    Designed for cars, rather than vans, 4x4s or commercial vehicles.

    A stronger sidewall lets this tyre carry more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. Marked XL on the sidewall.

  • Tick Icon Winter
    Winter tyres:

    Designed for temperatures below 7°C. Summer tyre rubber hardens in the cold and loses grip, while a winter compound stays soft and holds the road in cold, wet and snowy conditions.

Product 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.
