A trusted brand that has provided a solution that performs well for mixed wintery conditions in Southern Ontario - snow, slush, ice, freezing rain, wet and dry/cold. The first thing that stood out with these tires were how quiet and comfortable they were to drive on, regardless if it was on city streets, highway or country roads. With regards to performance, it has everything I would expect from winter tires: excellent control/stability and maneuverability on the road, braking performance for sudden stops and handing in different winter conditions. Changing lanes on the highway over windrows (snow tracked mounds) is not a white knuckle experience with these tires. I have to say, that these tires live up to the ultra-performance rating while accommodating my "enthusiast" driving style. The only slight drawback I have is the lack-luster handling in the occasional heavy snowfall we get. This is where I have found the X-Ice performance better in this area (despite it being soft and squishy). With the lifespan and performance aging of the PA4s, unfortunately I cannot comment as I've only used these tires for 15K KM. In summary, for the price/performance, I recommend this tire.

I'm heading through my second winter on these. On packed snow, I've found them to be truly great. They stop and turn very well. My neighborhood is hilly and doesn't get plowed. Traveling uphill through 6 to 8 inches of snow, there's definitely some wheel slip - but they've always gotten me through the hills and onto plowed roads. Descending steep hills is a non-issue. No sliding at all. A good match for the S4 - they make the pretty much bullet-proof in winter.

I have always purchased Michelin tires for my 328i BMW. They last and with rotation I have only gone through two sets over the 17 years I have had my low mileage (135K) car. No issues whatsoever. Safe, reliable, smooth ...the best. I would never buy another brand.

I bought this brand 20 months ago and I am so happy with my choice. These tires are strong, steady on ice, very stable on road what ever the winter condition is and almost no tire noise. I bought them for my Lexus IS 350 2020, so you can imagine why I chose them. It's worth the price that I paid for. I highly recommend them.

Installed on a BMW X3 35i Xdrive these tires are by far the nest you can drive on. Snow and ice are no problem for this excellent winter tire. Strongly recommended. These tires (Run on flat) ride in relative silence and provide a comfortable ride. Bravo Michelin. Nothing to complain about except the price.

I had these tires installed on my 2013 VW Golf R in October 2016 and could not have been happier. They have exceeded my expectations. I was going to buy the X-Ice XI3's which I have used in the past on a Passat and a Golf TDi but ultimately wanted to preserve and maintain the performance characteristics of the Golf R. It corners almost as if you have your summer UHP tires on. There is plenty of traction in the snow and ice and braking is excellent. The tires are also quiet. These are high quality tires you will enjoy.

I drive my rear wheel drive car year round. By switching my Michelin Pilot Super Sports for Michelin Pilit Alpin PA4s in cold weather, I maintain the grip and performance I need for my driving style. I'm able to put power down and go for a spirited drive even in winter conditions. I'm confident enough, with these tires, to leave traction control off in the winter too! This is the best winter tire I've ever used.

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

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 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!
