I’ve had these exceptional tires on my Car for 2 seasons now. I’m approaching my 3rd winter. They are simply the best snow tires I’ve owned. If you consider using “all season” tires. I suggest you give your head a shake. You need proper winter tires and these are them

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I have had three sets of these tires on my 2016 Ford Focus RS. It was the OEM winter tire for the car, and I was impressed enough to buy subsequent sets. The first two sets were incredible - great handling characteristics for a winter tire, quiet and smooth drive, great treadwear life, and unstoppable in even deep snow. However, this past winter I put a replacement set on, and the handling characteristics have gone significantly downhill. There is so much sidewall flex, and such significant movement in the tread that I feel like I'm driving on jello. I'm guessing that this is a new rubber compound, and while it does perform well in snow and on ice, I am disappointed that the change in compound has so negatively impacted the driving characteristics. I know that no winter tire will ever give as crisp and edgy handling as a summer tire, but I am directly comparing this tire to itself.

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.
