Michelin Alpin 6 features
The presented tyre is marked with 3PMSF symbol (Three Peak Mountain Snow Flake). It means that the tyre meets the EU requirements for winter tyres. The symbol is awarded after thorough tests of a tyre model in terms of snow grip.
Michelin Alpin 6 is the next version of one of the most-chosen collections of tyres for the winter season. The well-known French manufacturer has again demonstrated a great sense and understanding of drivers’ needs, creating an original, attractive and safe model for roads covered with snow or mud.
Michelin Alpin 6 stands out from the competition primarily in three areas:
Braking range on winter surfaces
The modern, directional tread construction works even in the most difficult winter conditions. The original groove system and double-layered tread blocks provide one of the shortest braking distances on snow. Up to 5.4 metres shorter braking than standard competition models. This has a real impact on the safety of the driver and passengers. A perceptible difference that will help you get out of a potentially dangerous situation.
Acceleration and traction on snow-covered roads
Excellent transmission of car power to the road is a feature that will be appreciated by every driver. The Michelin Alpin 6 is unrivalled when it comes to ramps on snowy surfaces. Studies have shown that with a slant of up to 12%, the tyre of the French manufacturer is faster to speed, maintains a stable track and overcomes kilometres more efficiently than the standard models of the competition. Perfect for cities, long journeys, and mountain roads. This is a definite leader when it comes to driving on snow.
More kilometres on one set
The breakthrough innovation used in the Michelin Alpin 6 is a self-opening EVERGRIP tread , offering safety and driving precision throughout its lifespan. The grooves widen as the rubber wears off, maintaining the highest parameters for an exceptionally record long time . When the tread is completely worn out, the tyres will still remain safe thanks to the gradually opening groove initially concealed under the rubber layer.
A special blend Traction Booster Compound allows you to get more grip on the snow with gradual wear of the tread. Thanks to this, regardless of the number of kilometres travelled, you can always enjoy the exceptional Michelin Alpin 6 parameters.
Michelin Alpin 6 is a breakthrough winter tyre that, thanks to EVERGRIP technology, serves longer than 9 out of 10 competing models tested by the French company. A special groove, which appears while the tyre wear s down, protects the driver even after the tread has been fully exploited. Trust the quality resulting from the experience, position and passion of one of the best tyre manufacturers in the world.
Michelin is one of the leaders in the global tyre market, offering tyres in its catalogue for virtually any type of vehicle and driving style. The highest quality UHP tyres have been recognised by rally drivers who have won Formula 1, WRC and 24h Le Mans on Michelin tyres. The company owes its position on the market to its continuous development and finding new, innovative solutions for tyre production. Michelin also includes Kleber, BFGoodrich, Kormoran or Warrior.
