Great tires, soft, quiet. Very good on snow and slush. There is no problem with starting and braking, and with snow traction. Also very good on dry and in rain. The price is slightly high but they worth it. So far I have travelled several thousand kilometers  and there are no visible signs of wear. Recommendable tires.

Great tires! It's already another winter with Michelin tires and the next generation of Alpin in my cars! They work great in all conditions. Compared to others, they are the most economical and quiet. They keep well on dry and wet surfaces. Heavy snowfall did not stop me for a moment, and the car was moving confidently, like on a string. Now is the thaw and the tires are also doing well in the slush. I can recommend Michelin Alpin with a clear conscience.

I trust the Michelin brand.  I drive in different weather conditions. Michelin summer and winter tires have always worked for me. Consistently very good traction and higher mileage compared to the competition in the premium class. I bought Pilot 5 winter tires for my wife's private car and she also praises the excellent driving control of these tires on dry, wet and snow-covered surfaces. They are also very quiet and outperform the competition in this respect. They are equipped with a rim protection which, even in the premium class, is not yet standard and, as you know, is very useful.

Great tires, soft, quiet. Very good on snow and slush. There is no problem with starting and braking, and with snow traction. Also very good on dry and in rain. The price is slightly high but they worth it. So far I have travelled several thousand kilometers  and there are no visible signs of wear. Recommendable tires.

Great tires! It's already another winter with Michelin tires and the next generation of Alpin in my cars! They work great in all conditions. Compared to others, they are the most economical and quiet. They keep well on dry and wet surfaces. Heavy snowfall did not stop me for a moment, and the car was moving confidently, like on a string. Now is the thaw and the tires are also doing well in the slush. I can recommend Michelin Alpin with a clear conscience.

I trust the Michelin brand.  I drive in different weather conditions. Michelin summer and winter tires have always worked for me. Consistently very good traction and higher mileage compared to the competition in the premium class. I bought Pilot 5 winter tires for my wife's private car and she also praises the excellent driving control of these tires on dry, wet and snow-covered surfaces. They are also very quiet and outperform the competition in this respect. They are equipped with a rim protection which, even in the premium class, is not yet standard and, as you know, is very useful.
