The Black Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 is a winter tire listed under Tires by Vehicle. This 255/45R19/XL 104V tire is listed for vehicles including the 2010-19 Ford Taurus SEL and 2020 Volkswagen Tiguan Highline. SKU: sku-783898065. UPC: 086699704634. It is designed for snow and severe weather driving in high-performance vehicles.

Michelin StabiliGrip Technology uses angled sipes for traction and stiffer rubber blocks for road grip and precise handling. The Helio Compound 3G rubber formula keeps the tire flexible at low temperatures. Michelin reports stopping over 5% shorter on snow, ice and wet roads in its testing. Angled sipes also improve snow acceleration, braking and handling in cold conditions.

The tire has a 30,000-mile manufacturer's treadwear limited warranty for W-, V- and H-rated versions, plus Michelin's standard 6-year limited warranty. That standard warranty covers defects in workmanship and materials for the life of the original usable tread or six (6) years from purchase, whichever comes first. Michelin cites premium vehicles from Porsche, BMW, Audi and Mercedes-Benz AMG.

Its listed homologations include the Porsche Panamera, 911 and Boxster; BMW 7-Series, 5-Series, M2 and M3; Audi A4 and A6; and Mercedes AMG E-Class, S-Class and C-Class. Auto Bild SportsCars named it a joint test winner for snow performance in November 2017, testing dimension 225/40R18 on a Golf VII GTI alongside the Continental Winter Contact TS 850 P.

Auto Motor and Sport recommended it after September 2017 tests of dimension 225/40 R18 on a BMW 430i Gran Coupe. Michelin's internal comparison with the Pilot Alpin PA3 reported braking 6.6 feet shorter at 30 MPH on snow and 16.4 feet shorter at 60 MPH on wet pavement.

The listing also states that the Michelin Latitude Alpin LA2 has the 3 Peak Mountain SnowFlake (3PMSF) marking for a minimum level of safety and mobility on snow. Listed fits include the 2021-22 Audi Q3 Progressiv, 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan United, 2017 Volkswagen Tiguan Highline, 2019 Volkswagen Tiguan SEL R-Line Jet Black, 2009 Lincoln MKS Base, 2013-16 Lincoln MKS Base, 2003-06 Chevrolet SSR Base, 2010-12 Lincoln MKS EcoBoost, 2021-22 Mercedes-Benz S500 4Matic, 2016 Porsche Panamera 4 Edition, 2010-11 Porsche Panamera 4S, 2012 Porsche Panamera S Hybrid, 2017-18 Lincoln Continental Select, 2014-15 Porsche Panamera S E-Hybrid, 2013 Audi A8 Quattro L W12, 2020 Lincoln Continental Coach Door Edition, 2023 Audi Q3 Technik, 2019 Lincoln Continental 80th Anniversary Coach Door Edition, 2019-23 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 53 Base, 2014 Audi A8 Quattro L TDI, 2020-21 Audi S7 Sportback Base, 2021-23 Mercedes-Benz Maybach S580 4Matic and 2023 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT 43 Base.
