Product description & features
Michelin's Pilot Alpin PA4 Zero Pressure is a run flat tyre that has been designed to deliver a top performance for high-end cars during the winter months. The Pilot Alpin PA4 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.
The Pilot Alpin PA4 Zero Pressure is equipped with a higher number of ridges and sipes as part of the tyre's tread pattern, it is capable of providing your vehicle with great traction and braking performances on both snow and ice.
Constructed with the 3rd generation Helio Compound, the Pilot Alpin PA4 Zero Pressure guarantees the tyre's performance is not hampered in freezing conditions.
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:
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.
