Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 PA5 (MO) 225/45R18 95H XL

This tread pattern can maintain close surface contact in winter, while the special compound keeps the rubber flexible in harsh and freezing temperatures. These elements work together to boost traction on ice- and snow-covered roads. At the same time, the tread and the winter compound improve the tire's performance in severe winter conditions. The optimized grooves prevent hydroplaning, by dispersing water and slush from the footprint. These grooves protect the tire from slipping on wet roads.

The symmetric tread design and the heat-resistant compound work together to achieve this. The maintained road contact increases steering responsiveness and driving stability. Optimized tread elements also enhance cornering and braking. The heat-resistant compound and the ideal tire shape resist pressure accumulation and deformation at high speeds. This ensures great driving durability, promoting a secure high speed performance.

The ideal tread design closely follows the road surface even at high speeds and prevents pressure accumulation, while the robust internal structure maintains the optimal tire shape under driving pressure. Also, the heat-resistant compound protects the tire from heat build-up along the tread area, further optimizing the tire's high speed performance. This improves driving durability.
