I drive 50k miles per year (business) in north central states in a 420 HP modified 2012 Mustang GT convert. I am in my second winter on these tires and am still totally overwhelmed over my ability to safely and under total control pass FWD vehicles that are slip-slidin' away because they don't have good, dedicated winter tires like the Pilot Alpin. I had similar Michelin dedicated winter tires on my '08 Mustang GT convert and in 128K miles never even lost control on snow or ice, much less got stuck even though I probably put on 5k miles driving in blizzards. If you have a performance car you drive in winter I cannot more highly endorse this tire. I do wish I could buy a narrower tire (for less hydroplaning on slush furrows between lanes) than the 255-40-19 that my car takes but the Mustang Brembo brake package doesn't allow much choice in narrower wheel/tire options. And, this tire looks great on the car - clean and glossy with no treatment. The Goodyear Eagles that were OEM looked muddy even after a wash. I have had such good luck with Michelin tires over the last 500k miles I just bought a set of Pilot Super Sports for when spring rolls around.

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!

I have been using Michelin for many years and found solid state of road control. Winter tires excellent on Ice and braking to stabilize in short distance. At high speed (140/160km) control is great . The treads seem to raise the height .15". I would recommend these tires which are excellent in quality and inexpensive comparing to other brands. I use on both vehicles Lexus & Mercedes

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.

Over the past five years, I’ve used two full sets of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 tires on my 2020 AMG GT C for winter driving, and they’ve been absolutely spectacular. At temperatures below 40°F (4°C), these tires provide better grip than most summer tires do at 60°F (15°C) and above. On dry roads, even at high speeds (up to 168 MPH / 270 KPH), I have full confidence in their performance when taking fast corners, even in temperatures below 20°F (-7°C). Braking performance is also exceptional. On damp surfaces, they inspire more confidence than track-focused tires like the Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 while on dry surface. In wet or lightly snow-covered conditions, I can drive cautiously but confidently, knowing they will keep me safe and get me where I need to go. It’s worth noting that my GT C is RWD with nearly 600 HP, so maintaining grip in extreme cold is absolutely crucial—and these tires deliver.

These tires have amazing traction, particularly in the cold wet (and dry) conditions one mostly sees in urban winters. These tires still have great snow and ice traction, but these tires particularly shine (over and above other winter tires I have tried) when it is cold and the roads are either wet or dry ... the grip experience is almost like driving in the summer with summer tires. The only downfall is that they wear quickly.

Have the Alpin PA4 on two vehicles now and for city living they are great. Feels like driving on summer tires, great in wet and slush and moderate ice. Likely not the best tire for deep snow but living in the city we rarely see that, mostly roads are plowed right away. A great performance winter tire choice.

The grip is great. After installing them, I could feel it. Also, they're very stable, provide me a feeling of total control. I was surprised that they're pretty quiet too. Lexus is a very quiet car, and I think they fit quite well. I love the look and tread of the tires. So far so good. No snow yet, I will give you a follow up review if I can.

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!

I have had these snow tires on my Audi for a number of years and I always go back to them. I am a high mileage driver in all sorts of weather. They are V rated so I get the performance and they are exceptional on snow or ice or slush. I wouldn't use anything else. I trust my Michelins. Oh I use Pilot Sport P4s in the summer (used to use the Pilot Super Sports) - awesome!
