Michelin Latitude Alpin Tire Review
Winter Tire By Tabitha Reliable security and optimum mileage despite the changing of seasons are what the Michelin Latitude Alpin promises to give drivers of SUVs and pick up trucks. Made with sunflower-enriched Helio compound, the Latitude Alpin features a directional tread pattern that combines a continuous center rib with independent shoulder blocks to provide dry road stability, improved hydroplaning resistance, and retain traction on slush, snow, and ice. The Latitude Alpin takes advantage of Michelin’s new StabiliGrip technology, which gives the tire its variable geometry sipes and enhances its stability and handling at higher speeds. The bi-directional, self-locking sipes also produce greater sipe density, consequently improving braking and grip in various winter and road conditions. Finally, this tire employs the Comfort Control Technology. Through the computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing, the tire offers reduced vibrations and road noise to ensure a comfortable ride every time. The Michelin Latitude Alpin comes in a variety of sizes. As mentioned earlier, this Michelin tire model is specifically designed for AWD (all-wheel drive) cars, especially AWD SUVs, crossover vehicles, and light trucks.
