Michelin Alpin 5

The Continental WinterContact TS 860 S winter sports tyre meets the sportiness and safety requirements of high performance car manufacturers and owners.

Sportiness in winter conditions. Steering precision and controlled cornering in dry conditions thanks to larger blocks on the outside shoulder that stiffen the tread. The ‘braking' rib offers a larger gripping surface to shorten dry braking distances when driving fast.

Snow. The innovative shape of traction sipes and longitudinal grooves provides more traction and grip on snow-covered roads.

Fuel consumption. A more fuel efficient tyre than its predecessor thanks to efficient polymers added to the tread compound to reduce rolling resistance.

Safety. Enhanced performances on wet roads and snow thanks to three deep, wide longitudinal grooves, that evacuate water immediately; tread design unaffected by changes in temperature.

Driving. Tyre offers stability and grip, at high speeds and during braking, on wet or dry roads, ensured by two rows of longitudinal blocks.

The Michelin Alpin 6 winter car tyre is characterised by its efficient braking performance, long service life and traction in snowy conditions irrespective of the degree of wear.

Winter safety when new and worn. With the Michelin Evergrip technologies, the Alpin 6 grips wet and dry roads whatever the state of wear. It ensures perfect mobility and high braking performance on snow thanks to grooves that appear as the tyre wears down and the two layers of rubber. On the innovation side, grip on snowy surfaces is optimised, even as the tyre wears by the Traction Booster Compound technology used for the bottom layer of the tread compound.

Longevity. The Alpin 6 is one of the best tyres in terms of longevity compared to its main competitors. And above all, one of the few to maintain its winter performance throughout the tyre's life.

Designed for saloons and mid-range cars, the ContiWinterContact TS 810 tyre is comfortable and well balanced for the winter roads.

Driving. Good grip and braking on slippery surfaces thanks to more biting edges in the centre and the on the sides of the tyre.

Snow. Good traction ensured by the asymmetrical tread and thick sipes; enhanced traction and lateral control on the snow with an innovative gap between the sipes that increases the snow plough effect by about 20%.

Safety. Effective on wet roads thanks to the circumferential grooves guarantees perfect water drainage in wet weather.

A winter tyre for city cars, hatchbacks, MPVs and family saloons, the Michelin Alpin 4 tyre offers grip, longevity and energy efficiency.

Safety. The Michelin Alpin 4 enhances the performances of its predecessor: 10% more grip on starting* and braking distances 5% shorter*. These results are due to a larger contact surfaces, the caterpillar effect due to the large number of tread motifs and high-density siping. Effective evacuation of water and slush thanks to the V-shaped tread pattern.

Longevity. According to Michelin, allows one extra winter driving**. Low fuel consumption thanks to a unique rubber compound HelioCompound+ based on sunflower oil and silica.

Handling. Good stability ensured by Stabiligrip technology, offering stiffer tread blocks.

* Compared to its predecessor on average, on snow-covered, icy or wet surfaces. Tests conducted in 2010 by TÜV SÜD Automotive on dimensions 195/65 R15T and 205/55 R16H.

** On average, the Alpin A4 does 35% more mileage than its main rivals."
