Michelin pushes latest Alpin winter tyres
ERJ staff report (DS)
Paris - Michelin is premiering its Pilot Alpin and Latitude Alpin, two winter tyres for high-performance cars and SUVs. Scheduled to begin arriving in European replacement markets in spring 2012, Michelin said the tyres deliver unparalleled results in terms of safety, mobility and longevity.
To develop this performance balance and deploy the most appropriate technologies, Michelin conducted preliminary studies and invited more than 4,000 motorists in Germany, France, Russia, Sweden and Canada to describe their winter driving experiences. In this way, nearly 12,000 loss-of-control situations were compiled and analysed.
