SAFE WHEN NEW, SAFE WHEN WORN(1), IN SEVERE WINTER CONDITIONS

With cutting-edge MICHELIN EVERGRIP TECHNOLOGIES, optimal Safety and Control on snow, even when worn(5)

Evolutive tread pattern: grooves emerge and widen as the tyre wears.

Multi-layer tread compound:

- our latest generation of compound with high winter performance

(1) New and Worn, on 205/55 R16 91H MICHELIN ALPIN 6, is above the R117 European regulation wet grip threshold. 3PMSF certified when new and excellent on snow traction when worn. Snow Acceleration/traction test conducted by TÜV SÜD in december 2017. Worn means worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation for Tread wear indicator ECE R30r03f. In any event, respect local legislation for winter tyres.

(2) Snow braking test conducted by TÜV SÜD product service, on Michelin's request, between december 2017 and january 2018, on dimension 205/55 R16 91H on VW Golf 7 comparing MICHELIN ALPIN 6 versus BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK LM001 Evo, CONTINENTAL WinterContact™ TS 860, DUNLOP Winter Sport 5, GOODYEAR Ultra Grip 9, PIRELLI Cinturato Winter and NOKIAN WRD4 competitors. Worn means worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation for Tread wear indicator ECE R30r03f. In any event, respect local legislation for winter tyres.

Worn means worn on machine (buffed) to the depth of Tread Wear Indicator according to European regulation for Tread wear indicator ECE R30r03f. In any event, respect local legislation for winter tyres.

(4) Longevity test conducted by DEKRA TEST CENTER, on Michelin's request, in december 2017 and january 2018, on dimension 205/55 R16 91H on VW Golf 7 comparing MICHELIN ALPIN 6 versus BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAK LM001 Evo, CONTINENTAL WinterContact™ TS 860, DUNLOP Winter Sport 5, GOODYEAR Ultra Grip 9, PIRELLI Cinturato Winter and NOKIAN WRD4 competitors. Longevity test run in average real usage (D50) with 10.000 km run and estimated longevity at 1.6mm. Market Average: MICHELIN Alpin 6 and all Premium Competitors tyres tested in the panel. In any event, respect local legislation for winter tyres.

EU Tyre Label and Efficiency Classes

The Tire Labeling Ordinance specifies the information requirements on fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise from tires. In addition, reference is made to the winter properties of the product.

The EU 1222/2009 regulation that has been in force since November 1st, 2012 has been revised and will be replaced by regulation EU 2020/740 from May 1st, 2021; From this point on, new requirements apply. The rating classes for fuel efficiency, wet grip and exterior noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been adjusted. The manufacturer's product data sheets stored in the EU database can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. Information on snow grip and ice grip is also newly included for tires that meet these criteria.

The following tires are exempt from the regulation: - tires that are designed exclusively for installation on vehicles that were first registered before October 1, 1990 - retreaded tires (until a corresponding extension of EU VO 2020/740 has taken place) - professional off - Road tires - Racing tires - Tires with additional devices to improve traction, eg studded tires - T-type emergency tires - Tires with a permissible speed below 80 km/h - Tires for rims with a nominal diameter ≤ 254 mm or ≥ 635 mm

The criteria and evaluation classes at a glance

fuel efficiency

The fuel consumption depends on the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, the driving conditions and the driving style of the driver. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tire is divided into classes A (highest efficiency) to E (lowest efficiency).

If a vehicle is completely equipped with class A tires, a consumption reduction of up to 7.5%* is possible compared to class E tyres. In the case of commercial vehicles, it can even be higher.
(Source: European Commission Impact Assessment
* when measured according to the test methods set out in Regulation (EU) 2020/740)

Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a large extent on your own driving style and can be significantly reduced by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve fuel efficiency.

wet grip

Wet grip is divided into classes A (shortest braking distance) - E (longest braking distance).

If a car is equipped with class A tires, compared to class E tires, a braking distance of up to 18 m can be reduced when braking from 80 km/h (on a road surface with average grip).*

Please note:
Traffic safety depends to a large extent on your own driving style. The stopping distances must always be observed. Tire pressure should be checked regularly to improve wet grip.

External rolling noise

The noise emitted by a tire affects the overall volume of the vehicle and affects not only your own driving comfort, but also the noise pollution of the environment. In the EU tire label, the external rolling noise is divided into 3 classes from A (lowest rolling noise) - C (highest rolling noise), measured in decibels (dB) and compared with the European noise emission limit values ​​for external tire rolling noise.

A
The pictogram with the classification "A" indicates that the tire's external rolling noise is more than 3 dB below the EU limit value in force until 2016.
B
The "B" classification means that the tyre's external rolling noise is up to 3 dB below or equal to the EU limit value in force until 2016.
C
The classification "C" indicates that the specified limit value is exceeded.

This is probably the best winter tyre I have ever bought. Wet roads, dry roads, snow and even in the summer. Comfortable, no more road noise than summer tyres. This tyre also performs better on wet roads in the summer in comparison to every summer tyre I have owned. Using these tyres in the summer is therefore not an issue in my opinion looking at the wear resistance and all-round performance. The Alpin 5 at the front lasted 44000 miles and the rear tyres are still on (56000 miles!) Michelin winter tyres last longer than summer tyres so will carry on buying the Alpin 6 from now on.
