Specifications

Technical information

Our classification not an official manufacturer classification

Focus: Standard

The largest and best-selling category, and Michelin ALPIN 5 belongs to it. No single property is pushed here at the expense of the others — comfort, grip, noise and tread life keep a sensible balance. For most drivers it is the safest bet: the tyre behaves predictably in the dry and in the wet and covers a decent number of kilometres.

<p>Monster traction on snow. On icy roads i had the back of the car slide a few times at 50-60 kph uphill, mostly in curves. I now have a new set of Hankook icept rs3 wich is less noisy, slightly poorer snow traction, similar on ice. Since 2024 switched the Michelin set on a VW Passat and used them as allseason tires. Still haven't lost proprietes on snow/ice. DOT 2018</p>

A very good winter tire, very durable, incredible bite in the snow.
A car wearing these can traverse some serious snow inclines.

To be honest? I bought those tires 3 years ago and i drove not so much. On the beginning - great tires but after 3 years and no more than 15000 km Alpine 5 are hard and very lodly even when i driving slow (around 50-70km/h). To be honest i had exactly same issue with Primacy 4. After 4 years theyt become so laudly that i change them (Goodyear). I think Michelin have good PR because i recently drove on Yokohama tires which are way more cheper.
Michelin of course has great side desgn - true but i don't recommend them in long term. Loudly like hell.

So i put these michelins on fairly early around 15th sept. and initially having only ever driven on shit tyres before this the difference was night and day for a 65 profile winter tyre they are Very communicative ofc nothing compared to a summer tyre after absolutely thrashing them on very slick roads snow and ice all winter and spring they have gotten very worn around the edges and are starting to loose grip in corners and are squealling a LOT given the fact i bought these tyres in 2024 with a DOT of 2016 they were in good condition when i bought them almost brand new essentially and they were not rotted cracked or anything of the sort in snow i've managed with some finesse to pull of sorcery with these tyres they are very responsive and very communicative in the dry and slick conditions they are good but in snow they come alive i've plowed through snow as much as 40-50 cm deep i've gone into piles of snow at 120 kph and kept on going straight without issue i've gone on expeditions to save stuck people with these tyres in very bad snowy conditions and they worked their magic But now after around 7k miles of absolutely thrashing them they are starting to both show their age AND wear ofc these tyres have been driven as hard as a semi slick so that is not on the tyre at all tread depth is quite good still its just that the rubber is finally starting to degrade and after all this now in hotter days of 20+ C you cannot get a good launch in you spin wheels quite a lot Amazing tyre will defo buy the newer generations after this summer
