Internally, a polyester cord casing increases ride comfort, while the twin steel belts fortified with spirally wound polyamide cord support the tread.
A new generation formula of full silica-based rubber Helio Compound 3G, allows the Michelin® Latitude® Alpin® LA2 tire to remain flexible in low temperatures for better winter performance.
