Alpin 5

The {{{FAB}}} {{{DCP}}} {{{DIM}}} {{{CARAC}}} is a premium winter touring tyre that replaces the Alpin A4. The tyre is geared towards compacts, mid-range and large saloons. When a study by VUFO concluded that 57% of road accidents occur on dry road surfaces, Michelin took this as an opportunity to improve the wet and dry performance of its winter tyres. The {{{FAB}}} {{{DCP}}} {{{DIM}}} {{{CARAC}}}´s tread pattern features deeper grooves and a 17% higher void ratio than the Alpin A4, which improves its snow and wet performance. Michelin´s ´´Stabiligrip Technology”, which helps the tyre retain its overall rigidity, uses three-dimensional intersecting sipes to improve the rigidity of the tread blocks. With a 16% increase in the number of sipes in the {{{FAB}}} {{{DCP}}} {{{DIM}}} {{{CARAC}}}, the tyre´s stability is increased. The rubber in the {{{FAB}}} {{{DCP}}} {{{DIM}}} {{{CARAC}}} uses Michelin´s fourth generation silica-based rubber compound, HelioCompound 4G. This contains a sunflower oil base that allows the tyre to retain its softness, even at low temperatures.
