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.

My first Winter tire & I love it!

A year ago, my brother borrowed my car and on the way back from his short trip snow started and he skid off the road (very minor repair to safety plastic under the engine). That moment was a wake-up call for me. I'm usually using the same car to ride my family around and definitely didn't want the same to happen to me or any of my family members. I'm from the country where summer gets 40 to 45deg Celsius but winter gets some snow and average temperature around 0 deg C. I've been planning to get another Michelin Winter tire, but this one was on stock, no need to wait. Immediately I felt the difference, even when there was no snow, as advertised when the temperature of the ground gets below +7 deg C. those tires were magnificent. Wheels do exactly what you want. After a snow fall I felt that my ABS is not working crazy, like it was before with All Season Tires, meaning the wheels not losing traction easily. Then me and my friend decided to do some experiment, he has the similar car (per weight) but All Season tires. We found abandoned road with icy snow on it and start testing for braking distance, all test were repeated at list 3 times. First test was to perform Emergency stop from 40km/h to 0km/h, Vehicle fitted with All Season tires skid for 30 meters (98.4 ft) longer repeatedly. Second test was to apply emergency stop from 60km/h to 0km/h, Vehicle fitted with All Season tires skid for 50 meters (164 ft) longer. This wasn't a test to convince my friend but to check if there is real world/life difference in All Season vs Winter tires, but my friend went directly to the shop to buy a set of winter tires. Definitely recommend the winter tires from Michelin.

Transformational Tire!!

I put a set of new Alpin PA4's on my 2012 9,Porsche 911 Carrera S (991.1 ) I had 3 year old Pirelli P-Zero's before. What a difference! It doesn't get too wintry here on Vancouver Island. Hardly any snow ever, rain, and temps between 38F and 50F. The Pirellis had no grip in the cold. I was sliding sideways and the traction control was constantly kicking in. I know they're summer tires, so that's expected. What a difference! I'm blown away at just how much better the PA4's are. I felt like I was riding on a cloud instead of on hockey pucks, and there's so much grip. I am very impressed. It has totally changed the winter driving experience. The only downside is that my car is going to be a lot dirtier from all the driving!

Great winter tire!

I bought these this last year in anticipation of receiving my 2020 vehicle. I was able to drive them in some brief wet-snow conditions when my car came in tail-end of winter leading into spring (March 2020), and I was quite pleased with their performance and feel on the road. I look forward to seeing how they perform in snow-ice conditions this upcoming year. I looked long and hard to find winter tires that could fit my car in OEM size, and the only ones that would fit the bill were Pirelli or Michelin. I haven't had the best experiences with Pirelli, so I went with Michelin; I couldn't be happier with the decision! I'll keep with Michelin when it comes time to change tires again.

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.

Great balance between performance and winter grip

I bought the Pilot Alpin for my Kia Stinger GT AWD. The car still performed well on wet/dry surfaces. No problems with deep snow & ice. These tires made for confident winter driving without compromising performance. Very quiet, as I could barely tell the noise level difference between my summer tires.

High power capable

The PA4's keep my 2017 Corvette Stingray on the road all winter in Eastern Canada. Excellent traction and handling. They provide a high degree of confidence driving a high power vehicle under winter snow and ice conditions. They are not rated as run-flat but are said to be capable of slow driving for a short distance. I carry a small tire repair kit and compressor just in case.

Excellent Winter Tire for Performance

Bought these tires for my Audi 3.2L TT Quattro. Drove almost 15K in heavy winter conditions last winter including a couple of freezing rain events. Great traction and feedback to the driver in both city/highway situations. Sure beat the winter Dunlops they replaced. Highly recommended!

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.

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!
