It is a product of excellent quality and performance for use in the city. It has adequate and even wear, which makes it safer overall good choices

Unfortunately not available for a Subaru Ascent but looks to be durable, safe and a fit for other vehicles. Advertises for handling and performance.

Purchased a set of Pilot Alpine A5s for winter driving on a Macan a Turbo in Pac NW 4-years ago. Ended up not changing the wheels out because they performed so well in the rain ( and snow). 4-years an 30k+ miles later I’m coming back for another set. Great performance SUV tire.

I've been extremely happy with these tires, compared to the all season tires from the factory these are similar or lower noise, significant improvement in ride comfort. The very slight amount of traction given up in dry and wet is easily made up for in the snow. Tires traction in wet and snow is predictable and made it easy to navigate close to a foot of snow. Would not hesitate to purchase these tires again.

I've been using the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 tires this winter, and they've truly exceeded my expectations. The grip on snow and icy roads is impressive - I feel completely in control even in tough conditions. The handling remains smooth and responsive, whether I'm driving through slush, rain, or dry pavement. What really stands out is the balance between performance and comfort. The ride stays quiet and stable, which is a bonus for longer trips. Plus, the tread wear seems minimal so far, which gives me confidence they'll last multiple seasons. If you're looking for reliable, high-performance winter tires, these are worth every penny. Michelin nailed it with this one!

I've driven 10,000+ kms during the winter of 2019/2020, 90% of my driving is on the QEW/400-series highways in Ontario. Mercedes recommends 17" wheels for the GLK, but having 20" OE wheels with AMG package I opt'd to go with 19" wheels to maintain handling, and I never regretted it. The tires are quiet, comfortable, corner and turn-in well, and soak up the potholes. Although I've never had the opportunity to try it in deep snow conditions, traction in dry and wet/snow is excellent, and able to handle turbo-diesel torque in high boost conditions, allowing seamless thrust with the 4Matic all-wheel drive system regardless of weather. I've also noticed the benefit of quick recovery time when the tire hydroplanes in wet snow/slush/rain. The only downside would be a bit of tread squirm under hard/panic braking, but it's to be expected with the narrow tread blocks (Alpin A4 winter tires did the same; similar tread design); on a SUV it would be more noticeable than on a car due to more weight transfer. If you're a hard braker, then the Pilot Alpin PA4 might be the better choice. For most people, this tire is an excellent choice for urban areas. Previously, I've purchased Pilot Alpin PA2/PA3/PA4's, X-Ice3 and Alpin A4's, and await installation of the X-Ice Snow on another vehicle---I've always been happy with the performance of the Michelin family of winter tires; my number one choice if available in my tire size. Highly recommended!

The Pilot Alpin 5 Winter Tires have transformed my winter driving experience. They offer exceptional traction, handling, and safety on both snow and ice, without compromising on comfort or durability. For anyone looking to navigate winter roads with confidence, I highly recommend giving these tires a try. They're not just an expense; they're an investment in safety and peace of mind during the winter season.

Big snow fall early Nov. here in Ontario. First time out in snow on these and wow they are awesome. Tried to test myself to see how much glide, slide, grip and stop was on these and I was super impressed. They gripped like a champ and I felt super in control. Great comfortable and responsive ride. SO thrilled I purchased the for my car.

Passed my first winter with these tires, put around 10,000 to 13,000 km on them and only wore 2/32 on this amount of mileage, snow traction is pretty good, what impressed me the most about these is the stopping distance on slippery roads, and has a really quiet and good ride for winter tires
