Description
MICHELIN Agilis Alpin – for all light trucks.
Excellent handling on snow and ice
Robust and economical
With the MICHELIN Agilis Alpin winter tyre, you can transfer the vehicle's full performance to the road, even in winter conditions. It allows a dynamic driving style with maximum safety and high mileage.
Handling
The special tread pattern from the 4x4 section with open shoulders and offset tread blocks improves performance on snow. The Michelin Durable Contact Patch technology provides better grip on icy roads due to a larger and less rounded footprint.
Mileage
As with MICHELIN Agilis, the anti-abrasion blocks have been positioned on the flanks to provide protection for the tyre in all conditions. In conjunction with a more resistant rubber compound against abrasion, this achieves the maximum life expectancy for the tyre.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
