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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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 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 last year for my 2019 Honda Civic Type R. I am very pleased driving on them during the fall/winter period. Living in Vancouver, British Columbia, lots of rain, light snow the tires performed very well. Sticky and grounded driving experience! Felt very safe driving on these wheels. I would recommend and buy these again for my next set of winters for sure!

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.
