Lesson learned: smaller tires for winter?

I bought these tires last winter and they impressed in terms of virtually no increase in noise level, no change in performance and minimal impact on fuel economy. Unfortunately I was disappointed in their performance on snow and ice - slipping more on my AWD Audi than my previous FWD car using x-ice tires. I've since learned that it might be better to have purchased smaller winter tires but have never had to do that before on previous vehicles to achieve confident traction using x-ice tires.

What a drive - so good to have Winters that perform

Recommended by my Tuner (Independent Tuning in Toronto). I run Michelin PS4S's in the Summer (also highly recommended) and wanted a Winter Tire that performs - I drive all Winter - moderate snow & black ice (2012 Audi S4 - performance modified). ....these Alpin's are not far off most of the the handling capabilities of the PS4S

Great Winter Performance

Only had 2 on the back wheels of a 06 350z. I was able to make it through a MN winter. These tires are great, I plan go with 4 of them next year. Great traction in snow, low noise and nice ride on dry pavement. I would recommend these tires to anyone looking for a great winter tire.

Very Impressive!

I put these on my BMW M340 for the second winter season with the PA4. I'm very impressed with their handling, cornering, braking and acceleration! They bring a lot of confidence when driving in very cold weather. The PA4's feel like my 4S's and the PA4's are very quite unlike your usual winter tire. Thank you Michelin!

Won't buy this one again

I have had three sets of these tires on my 2016 Ford Focus RS. It was the OEM winter tire for the car, and I was impressed enough to buy subsequent sets. The first two sets were incredible - great handling characteristics for a winter tire, quiet and smooth drive, great treadwear life, and unstoppable in even deep snow. However, this past winter I put a replacement set on, and the handling characteristics have gone significantly downhill. There is so much sidewall flex, and such significant movement in the tread that I feel like I'm driving on jello. I'm guessing that this is a new rubber compound, and while it does perform well in snow and on ice, I am disappointed that the change in compound has so negatively impacted the driving characteristics. I know that no winter tire will ever give as crisp and edgy handling as a summer tire, but I am directly comparing this tire to itself.

Very disappointed

I installed a new set of Pilot Alpin PA4 3 months ago in September on my BMW 3 Series. To be fair these tires are quite good on wet roads, very quiet with good acceleration and braking. But very poor traction on icey roads and snow as you may know how Edmonton's roads are in the Winter. very disappointing really for the amount of money I have paid. I expected better quality and traction on the roads.

Excellent Tires

Bought these last year for my 2019 Honda Civic Type R. I am very pleased driving on them during the fall/winter period. Living in Vancouver, British Columbia, lots of rain, light snow the tires performed very well. Sticky and grounded driving experience! Felt very safe driving on these wheels. I would recommend and buy these again for my next set of winters for sure!

Awesome tires.!!!

I own a 2017 Grand Sport Corvette and I put these on the rear and the backend is glued to the ground.!! The compound of the tire is very soft therefore in 0 degree temps these still get great traction.. I'm putting them on the front for this winter.

Tires for my sporty cars!

Going year two with these winters and they're such a joy to drive on the dry pavement. They're also pretty good in winter conditions only getting a bit sketchy on pure ice but then again most tires are sketch on ICE. Can't go wrong with Michelins!

Great High Performance Winter Tires

Great sticky tires in the winter, I drive fast in the winter at zero degrees and can comfortably go 160km/hr instead of my summer’s sport cup 2’s. Soft and not hard.
