Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2
$319.00
Released September, 2009
The Pros:Make almost no noise on the road at any speed. Acceleration is nice and sharp, won't spin out. Braking distances are fairly good, always operate as you'd expect.
The Cons:Wears out much faster than the average tire. Loses quite a bit of traction in the snow, although it isn't terribly dangerous.
Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 are winter tires designed for sports cars and luxury vehicles. Traction is achieved using bi-directional and variable-thickness sipes, the combination of which are able to get better road hold in even in subzero temperatures.

The amount of rubber in contact with the road is maximized through a larger contact patch. This means more of the tread is working to gain traction, helping with cold-weather hazards including black ice. All of the tread design and contact patch technology has been maximized through Comfort Control Technology, which computer-optimizes the design to greatly reduce vibrations and road noise.
Model Variations
Two speed ratings are available: H and V. In the H speed rated models, a Zero Pressure system is active that will keep the tire rigid in case of a puncture. This enables the driver to go 50 miles at 55 mph with no air pressure in the tire at all.
