Michelin Latitude Alpin HP 265/55R19 109H

Overview
The Michelin Latitude Alpin HP is a performance, winter weather tire manufactured for SUVs.The tire offers first-rate winter weather traction. The 3D active sipes in the tread pattern increase the stability of the tread elements which maintain the model’s constant road contact. The better road contact increases the road gripping ability, especially in deeper snow and on ice. The tire is marked with the three mountain peak and snowflake symbol that the tire industry uses for models that are capable of handling the harshest winter conditions. The tread pattern’s circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning situations by channeling water and slush away from the tire footprint. The better water and slush dispersing ability and the excellent winter weather traction make the drive safer in all winter weather.The 3D siping design stabilizes the tread blocks and prevents them from shifting about. This increases the tire’s steering responsiveness and driving stability. The tire becomes quick and precise in its responsiveness to the driver’s commands, which allows them to confidently control the tire in all winter conditions. The better stability provides safety against the external driving forces affecting the tire. The tire’s larger contact patch also upgrades the braking ability. The better road contact area and the excellent winter weather road gripping ability shortens the braking distance by creating friction at the moment of braking. The result is a safer and more responsive drive.The ComfortControl Technology increases the tire’s comfort levels. It provides a computer optimized tread pattern, which lowers the road noise generated while the tires are in motion, and provides an ideal road contact area and tire stability with the precision manufacturing. The better road contact and overall stability of the tire lowers the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin, as the tire closely follows the road surface. In this manner, the tire offers a quiet and comfortable driving experience. The better contact patch provided by the precision manufacturing also enhances the life of the tread. The tire’s constant even road contact equally spreads the driving pressure out across the tread area. This uniform distribution of the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking improve the tread life by preventing uneven tread wear patterns from forming on the tread area, which increase the length of its usability and the tread life.The Latitude Alpin HP is a performance winter tire and it is capable of performing at high speeds. Michelin’s Total Performance technology ensures that this performance is safe, the tire is capable of enduring the driving pressure of high speeds and that this happens with low fuel consumption of the vehicle. While these aspects are brought together in the tire, it still maintains its excellent high speed performing capability.
