Winter Tire
The H-rated† MICHELIN® Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ tire helps deliver a smooth touring ride with efficient wet braking and controlled maneuvering in wintery conditions.
Benefits of Michelin
- Get more miles for your money
- 10% better acceleration in snow(1)
- Get shorter, safer stops
- Get more miles for your money
  Building on the fuel efficiencies of its predecessor, the MICHELIN® Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ tire helps use even less fuel, thanks to a 7% reduction in rolling resistance.(1)
- 10% better acceleration in snow(1)
  The MICHELIN® Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ tires offer a 10% gain in acceleration and handling characteristics in snow as a result of more sipe edges biting into snow and ice from 3-D StabiliGrip™ Technology with its Bi-Directional auto blocking and variable geometry sipes.
- Get shorter, safer stops
  Increased traction at low temperature for improved braking and handling in wet and better overall performance in the snow, all the result of the revolutionary Helio Compound™, with sunflower oil. The MICHELIN® Primacy™ Alpin® PA3™ tire stops 1.7 meters shorter than its predecessor on wet roads.(1)

Michelin North America (Canada) Inc. doe not endorse the operation of any vehicle in an unsafe or unlawful manner. Excceding the safe, legal speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

IMPORTANT: While all-season tires are designed to provide reliable performance in moderate winter conditions, the use of four (4) tires is recommended for optimal preformance and may be mandatory in certain jurisdictions.

DANGER: Never mount a 14" diameter tire on a 14.5" rim, or a 15" diameter tire on a 15.5" rim, or a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim, or a 17" diameter tire on 17.5" rim, or a 19" diameter tire on a 19.5" rim, or a 22" diameter tire on a 22.5" rim, or a 24" diameter tire on a 24.5" rim.
