275/40R20 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 – 3PMS M+S Performance Touring Winter
Category: Winter – Performance
The Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 is a winter/snow tire made for use on ultra high performance sports coupes, cars and sedans. It offers superior traction capabilities for winter weather environments, while also giving the driver a nice ride on dry roads. The Pilot Alpin PA4 provides excellent performance on packed snow and ice covered roads. It also has a 30,000 mile tread life warranty for all sizes.
Carries the 3PMSF symbol — tested and rated for severe snow service. XL (Extra Load) — built to handle higher inflation pressures and heavier loads than a standard-load tire of the same size.
What these tire specs mean
- Load index 106 means each tire can carry up to 950 kg. Check your door jamb placard — the tire needs to meet or beat the load rating your manufacturer specifies.
- Speed rating V is the maximum sustained speed this tire is designed to handle under proper conditions. That works out to 240 km/h under correct load and inflation — not a target, just the rated ceiling.
- Winter tires use a softer compound that stays pliable in cold temperatures, where all-season rubber starts to harden. They carry the 3PMS symbol and meet Quebec’s winter tire mandate.
- XL means Extra Load. These tires run at higher inflation pressures and handle more weight than a standard-load tire of the same size. If your vehicle’s factory spec calls for XL, that’s what you need — swapping to standard load can affect ride, handling, and safety.
- EV Compatible means the tire is designed with electric vehicle demands in mind — higher load capacity for battery weight, reinforced sidewalls for EV torque, and compound choices that balance rolling resistance and road noise.
- 3PMS stands for Three Peak Mountain Snowflake — a symbol earned by meeting specific severe snow traction standards in testing. It is the mark Quebec requires for winter tire compliance.
- Vehicle type indicates the service category this tire is built for — passenger car, light truck, commercial, or other. Matching the right category matters for load capacity, handling, and safety.
- Warranty coverage is backed by the manufacturer and applies under normal use — regular rotations, correct inflation, and proper alignment. Keep maintenance records if you ever need to make a claim.
Where this tire fits in
The 275/40R20 Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 – 3PMS M+S Performance Touring is a winter / winter – performance tire, built around a 275 mm section width for a 20-inch wheel.

Worth noting on the spec side: this tire carries 3PMS certification for severe snow service, an XL extra load rating, load index 106 and speed rating V (~240 km/h).
About the 275/40R20 tire size

- R20 — radial construction, for a 20-inch wheel
The 275/40R20 size is commonly found on full size trucks and large SUVs. Replacing a set? The full size marking is on your current tire’s sidewall — confirm width, profile, and rim diameter all match before you order.
