- With 50% more gripping edges**, the tread pattern provides ultimate efficiency in both lateral and longitudinal grip, while the high-density sipes provide excellent snow and ice traction. The StabiliGrip, a 3D sipe technology, provides more rigidity for better handling and braking on ice, snow and black roads. (** Compared with the Michelin® Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ previous generation tire.)
- With Helio Compound™, a new formula of full silica-based tread rubber compound with sunflower oil, the new Michelin® Alpin® A4™ tire maintains its elasticity at low temperatures for enhanced performance and braking power on wet, snow covered and icy roads.
- The Michelin® Alpin® A4™ tire has optimal wear resistance providing longer lasting performance than certain leading competitors.† The tire's new tread rubber formula and full depth sipes ensure traction on slippery roads for the life of the tire. († On average, Michelin® Alpin® A4™ tire lasts 35% longer with its main competitors. Tests carried out by TUV SUD Automotive in 2010 on tire sizes 195/65R15T and 205/55R16H purchased on the open market in November 2009.)
- MICHELIN® GREEN X®
- Start 10% Easier on Snow Covered and Icy Roads.* (* On average, compared with the Michelin® Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ previous generation tire, starting off on icy or snow covered roads. Tests carried out by TUV SUD Automotive in 2010 on tire sizes 195/65R15T and 205/55R16H.)
- Stops 5% Shorter on Snow Covered and Wet Roads. *** (*** On average, compared with the Michelin® Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ previous generation tire, starting off on icy or snow covered roads.
