About this tread
**Primacy Alpin 3** is Michelin's discontinued premium winter tyre that delivered excellent wet and cold-weather braking performance through its full-silica tread compound and high sipe density. It provided confident handling on snow-covered and icy roads while maintaining the refined driving comfort expected from the Primacy family. The tyre's IronFlex technology reinforced the casing for improved stability and even wear in winter conditions. Long since succeeded by the [Alpin 5](/en/tread/alpin-5) and [Alpin 6](/en/tread/alpin-6), it is found only as residual old stock.
