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 aquaplaningThe 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 snowThe 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 precisionThe '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 the sipes in the tread block block themselves. Efect: the tread block remains stable despite its sipes, which ensures a high steering precision.The new rubber compound also has excellent properties on dry and wet surfaces and on snow: The high silica content in the rubber compound ensures better grip on dry and wet roads. For the first time in the production of a winter tyre, Michelin utilised the inovative 'Tread Compound Technology' and included functional elastomers (synthetic rubber) in the material compund. These functional elastomers allow a very homogeneous rubber mixture with a higher silica content and thus provide better grip on wet and snowy roads, without compromising the energy efficiency of the tire. In addition, the new rubber compound also includes Michelin's fourth generation of 'Helio Compound Technology'. Through the use of sunflower oil, the tyre performance is optimized even at very low temperatures.

Powerful performance and superior handling for luxury vehicles Performance, safety and comfort are embodied in our sustainable tyres. Tyre Pattern Interlocking groove Ventus S1 evo3 is equipped with interlocking outside grooves to secure wet grip and prevent hydroplaning on slick surfaces. This reinforces its performance on wet roads and cornering in the rain, without compromising dry handling performance. * Technology Patent: 10-2018-0109541 Highly stiff outside shoulder The outer blocks and shoulders of the tyre, where heavy loads and contact pressure are concentrated due to cornering, are expanded. The maximum steering grip force is secured by the dual action of the aramid hybrid reinforcement belt, which secures the flat contact surface under any conditions. This also ensures the dry handling is improved by 15%. Inside It presents improved performance in terms of hydroplaning and wet braking, by increasing the number of inner pitches (blocks) to secure the gaps for enhanced drainage. Outside The number of outer pitches is optimised to secure the steering grip performance required for dry cornering, this is designed to contribute to the reduction of pattern noise as well. Tyre Structure Tread Compound HSSC (Highly Enriched Synthetic Silica Compound) is a new compound, in which the highly purified and quality silica is vulcanised at low temperatures for twice the duration compared to regular tyres. This enables the increased blending between molecules that secures a solid driving performance and improved mileage. Tyre strength has been increased to respond to high levels of initial output and initial acceleration. Aramid Hybrid Reinforcement Belt Tyre strength has been increased to respond to high levels of initial output and initial acceleration. Folded Belt Edge Tape Endurance of the belt has been enhanced. Application of High Strength Steel Belt Wire Using high strength belts that perfectly absorb external shock, the durability and comfort of the tyre has been greatly improved. Dual Layer Fiber Stiffener With the dual structure of the carcass fibre stiffener, the resistance of the tyre is structurally assured. Strong Jointless Bead Wire By increasing the binding force between the wheel and the joint, even with high initial acceleration, the tyre will always remain safely attached to the wheel.
