I have a 2013 Audi S4 with summer tires/wheels and needed a good overall winter tire for Michigan winters. I did some extensive research reading reviews and narrowed down to the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4's. I'm glad I went with these tires. They provide excellent traction, quiet and I feel very secure on cold snow covered roads. I would highly recommend these tires.

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.

After debating with myself to buy winter tires, im glad I did. I pick up trash for a living and the job requires me to be there 2 hours past midnite. Unfortunately, when I get up hardly any roads are plowed and after getting stuck in the base of my driveway countless times, these tires were my saving grace. Alittle pricey, but completely worth it. Im able to cut through my hilly neighborhood with ease, especially under wet, heavy conditions. What I noticed is that they have only gotten better since I put them on a month ago. Peace of mind and being able to get to my job with ease is all I could ever ask for, and these tires provide that.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.
