The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV, ranking third, exhibits exceptional capabilities across various tests. In snow, it excels notably, even in challenging double direction changes. Wet performance is characterized by solid stability and adequate braking, though it falls short in hydroplaning resistance. The tire handles well in dry conditions across all speeds, but its braking performance is a point of concern.

A dependable choice across conditions. Michelin delivers consistently.

• Positive: Reliable snow handling combined with adept braking on both wet and dry surfaces.

Rating: Recommended

The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV exhibited exceptional performance in snow, wet, and dry conditions. Being the quietest and offering the highest comfort levels, it marked its superiority in several categories. Despite these commendations, its rolling resistance pulled it away from clinching the top spot, making it the second-best choice for winter SUVs.

The Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV is a well-rounded winter tire, excelling particularly on snowy terrains with high traction, lateral stability, and effective braking.
