Specifications
MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV
MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV 245/45R20 103V XL RunFlat — quality All season tyre from MICHELIN. Reliable grip, stability and durability for everyday driving across all conditions.
How fuel-efficient is this tyre?
Below average. The MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV is rated D, under the middle of the scale. Rolling resistance runs a little higher, so fuel use creeps up slightly. Usually that's the trade-off for stronger grip or longer tread life.
How well does this tyre grip in the wet?
Solid. The MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV sits at class C, the middle of the wet-grip scale. Braking and grip in the rain are reliable for normal conditions; you give up some braking distance to the top grades, but nothing that stands out day to day.
How much road noise does this tyre make?
About average. At 70 dB the MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV sits right around the middle for car tyres. Nothing intrusive, nothing especially hushed — a level most drivers stop noticing after a few minutes.
Are these tyres reinforced?
Yes. The MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV carries the XL (Extra Load) marking, which means a stronger casing that takes higher pressures and carries more weight than a standard tyre of the same size. That suits heavier cars, fully loaded driving, vans, and EVs, which run heavier because of their battery packs. To get the full benefit, set the higher pressure the XL rating allows.
Can I keep driving if these tyres lose pressure?
Yes, for a short distance. The MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV is a run-flat tyre, marked RunFlat with reinforced sidewalls that hold the car's weight even with no air in the tyre. After a puncture you can usually carry on for around 80 km at up to 80 km/h to reach a garage, instead of changing a wheel at the roadside. Run-flats should only go on a car designed for them, ideally one with a tyre-pressure monitoring system.
Are these tyres certified for snow?
Yes. The MICHELIN PILOT ALPIN 5 SUV carries the 3PMSF mark — the three-peak mountain snowflake — which a tyre only gets after passing an official snow-braking test. It counts as a proper winter tyre in countries where winter tyres are required by law, and it's a real measure of snow performance, not just the softer M+S label that makes no promise about grip.
MICHELIN is a premium class manufacturer offering solid-quality tyres with a good balance of price and durability.
