Alpin 5

Michelin alpin 5 outstanding security due to the innovative tehnology a high level of safety is in focus: when developing the new michelin alpin 5, the objective was reaching a high level of safety under all winter. Two core technologies for optimum winter performance the new resdesignedtread pattern ensures special features: the teeth effect , allows the tyre to bite in the snow and so to better resist aquaplaning The new premium tire has a directional tread, an arrow-shaped profile, as well as specially designed tread blocks with high negative proportion. This makes the tyre to press in the snow, causing a sort of teeth effect . Thanks to the realignment of the side channels, the water is efficiently derived aside, reducing the risk of aquaplaning significantly. Claw effect for more traction on snow The slats act like thousands of tiny claws that snag on the ground and produce traction. This effect is all the more effective when the tire has a high number of slats. Michelin alpin 5 has, compared to its predecessor in size 205 55 r16 over more that 12% tread pattern and 16% more slats. Also the tread's negative proportion is increased by 17%. Contact surface effect for a better steering precision The stabiligrip tehnology ensures a special tread which allows Higher steering precision. The larger the contact area on the ground, the better the grip. Because the tyre deforms at each wheel rotation, the michelin engineers have specifically designed the tread pattern so that ...
