Product description & features

The Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 is a winter tyre that maintains flexibility at low temperatures. This is achieved using Michelin’s Helio Compound 4G, combined with sunflower oil. The Pilot Alpin PA4 also has a V-shaped tread which handles the removal of water and slush. 3D sipes (StabiliGrip) also provide traction in winter.

There are also outer edge blocks designed to provide support during cornering (combined with the removal channels in the middle tread). Certain sizes also have Michelin’s ZP run-flat construction. The PA4 is designed for winter use under 7 degrees C, and is available in sizes 17 to 21 inches. We sell the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 with ZP run-flats here at Tyres.co.uk.

Highlights

  • Winter flexibility at low temperatures
  • V-shaped tread for water and slush
  • Run-flat versions in certain sizes

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 255/35R18 94V XL
I especially like these tyres! They are quiet and comfy, and have excellent grip on wet roads, ice and snow. They also handle well, on dry road surface.

Until now, they have done well in both dry and wet conditions. I have yet to test them in the snow.

Tyre review for Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 255/35R18 94V XL
I bought these because they were on sale, and my old Sottozeros were almost done at 3mm. I haven't driven a ton of miles on them yet, but they have been really grippy. They have a nice balance and work well with my car's xDrive system. I've had them from -5° to +10°C and they have not lost grip or handling. With winter tyres, there is a little more road noise than with summer tyres, but it is not too bad. The only downside is that they seem to collect every stone when they are parked on the gravel in my driveway. But, aside from that, a good purchase!

These past few winters have been difficult for Barrie, and I have put these on my Audi RS5 AWD Quattro for all conditions, and they perform exceptionally well. I recommend these without hesitation as the best winter performance tyres.
