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.

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.

A Work Car Will Buy Nothing Else

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.

Superb Traction & Extremely Quiet

I had these tires installed on my 2015 Audi S5 (18” factory wheels) for the South Jersey “Late-Fall to Early-Spring” period where we do not normally see much over 6” on any given snowfall. Over the last several seasons these tire have been tremendous! They are quiet, handle superbly with Audi’s 4wheel drive, offer great traction and stopping — in short, I could not ask for a better winter tire in our type of fall-to-spring driving conditions.

Wow. Great Tire

Just purchased a new '14 Audi S5. Did not realize that the stock tires were high performance summers and was faced with a decision to either go with All-Seasons -or Winter's- and just swap out. After extensive research I settled on this tire - and paid a premium - since they are very hard to find. Online retailers said in November that they couldn't get them to Jan!! Makes no sense so I had to buy it at a premium from dealer. All I can say is WOW- glad I did- because these tires represent an amazing feat of engineering. They are just as quiet as my summers with little to no degradation in tire performance. That just doesn't seem possible with a winter tire. I live in the NorthEast- so have put these through a NorEaster along with snow- and has ripped through everything with gusto. Maybe it's the combination of these tires and Audi's quattro system but the car just feels anchored to the road even in the worst weather. Could not be happier with this product and would recommend to any owner especially my fellow Audi enthusiasts.

Very Reliable

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.

Great Winter Performance

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.

Renewed Michigan Winter Driving Confidence!!!

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.

Great High Performance Winter Tires

Great sticky tires in the winter, I drive fast in the winter at zero degrees and can comfortably go 160km/hr instead of my summer's sport cup 2's. Soft and not hard.
