Michelin Pilot Alpin PA5 SUV
Description
The Pilot Alpin 5 SUV is Michelin's Light Truck/SUV Performance Winter / Snow tire developed to meet the needs of enthusiast drivers of performance-tuned pickup trucks, crossovers and SUVs who don't want wintry conditions to prevent them from enjoying their vehicles year-round. A winter-focused compound molded into a highly siped, directional tread pattern features broad shoulder blocks and a wide, central groove to blend stability and cornering grip on dry roads with hydroplaning resistance and traction in slush, snow and on ice. A specialized undertread minimizes energy dissipation to reduce rolling resistance and aid fuel economy, while the two-ply, reinforced polyester casing improves sidewall robustness for added durability. Two high-strength steel belts supporting the tread are reinforced by a polyamide cap ply to aid in handling responsiveness and provide high-speed durability. Pilot Alpin 5 SUV winter radials meet the industry's severe snow service requirements and are branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbo
