The Pilot Alpin 5 SUV is a winter tire designed for performance-tuned pickup trucks, crossovers, and SUVs. It is ideal for drivers who want to enjoy their vehicles year-round without being hindered by wintry conditions. The tire features a winter-focused compound and a directional tread pattern with a wide central groove and broad shoulder blocks. This design promotes stability and cornering grip on dry roads, while also providing resistance to hydroplaning and traction on slush, snow, and ice. The undertread of the tire helps reduce energy dissipation, leading to better fuel economy. Additionally, the reinforced polyester casing improves sidewall strength and durability. The tread is supported by two high-strength steel belts and a polyamide cap ply, enhancing handling responsiveness and high-speed durability. The Pilot Alpin 5 SUV meets the industry's severe snow service requirements and is branded with the three-peak mountain snowflake (3PMSF) symbol. Snow platform indicators are also present on the tread grooves to inform the driver when the tire's deep snow traction is reduced due to decreased tread depth. It is important to note that the Pilot Alpin 5 SUV tires should be installed in sets of four only. Some sizes of the tire utilize eco-focused manufacturing methods, which are indicated on the sizes tab and tire's specs tab. There are also certain original equipment versions of the tire with an alternate tread pattern, identified on the sizes tab and tire's specs tab.
