Nothing better than the Pilot Alpin PA6 for high powered Sports Cars

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.

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.

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!

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.

From -7c.. to damp +7c I just trust them. P.S. I treat them gently over +15c.. there they start to get soft..

I am on my second set and use it the whole year. I live in -5 - +17c climate. The first set was 225/40-18 FR and 255/35-18 rear, sold the wheels and tires after 28k km (plenty left) and went for 4x 255/35 - 19" to cover the RC-F brakes. In my case 35-45k km is about max and that is fine by me.

Great winter tire for Audi S4

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.

Best performance snow out there.

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!

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 Winter Traction (Particularly in Urban Winters)

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.

MICHELIN WINTER TIRES PA4

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
