Product description & features

The Michelin Alpin 5 Zero Pressure is a run flat tyre  winter tyre with a high performance level on dry, wet and snow covered road surfaces. The Alpin 5 Zero Pressure features technologies designed by Michelin to allow the driver to continue for a short distance once the tyre has been punctured or the tyre pressure has dropped.

Features a directional tread pattern, the Alpin 5 Zero Pressure has an increased number of tread blocks and more sipes lead to greater traction on the snow. Created with the Helio Compound 4G – which contains sunflower oil – the tyre is able to maintain flexibility to deliver efficient performance in chilly winter environments.

Thanks to the lateral grooves designed in the Alpin 5 Zero Pressure, there is more resistance to aquaplaning  though the swift dispersal of water from the tyres grooves.

Winter Tyres

What are winter tyres?

Winter tyres have been developed to perform best during the colder winter months - when the outside temperatures drop below 7 degrees Celsius.

How can I tell a winter tyre is suitable for winter weather?

The tyre features the EU sanctioned 3PMSF marking - Three Peak Mountain Snowflake:

Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake

This accolade was introduced to be an easily recognisable symbol which displays that the tyre has passed standardised, controlled, and, rigorous tests. It confirms the winter suitability of a tyre.

How does a winter tyre perform better in winter?

The compound of a winter tyre contains a higher natural rubber content - helping the tyre to remain flexible in freezing weather and conform to the road surface.

The grooves of winter tyres are typically wider to channel snow and water. The latest generation also have smaller shoulder grooves to improve snow and ice traction.

Can I use winter tyres all year round?

Although winter tyres can be used in other conditions, their performance will not be as efficient as they have been optimised to perform in temperatures under 7°C.

There is also a risk of a winter tyre’s wear rates increasing when drive on in warm temperatures, due to the high silica and natural rubber compound.

We recommend that winter tyres should be fitted as a full set of 4.
