Wery good grip on snow and ice, bought a car with Dunlop Garspic DS2 couldnt start moving without drifting, after week bought Alpin, difference wery big.
after 10000 km no signs of heavy usage. still more than 7mm. Very quit and stabile even on big speed and in curves. recomend it to anyone.

Very good tire impressive grip in the wet as in the snow (in Romania we have a lot of snow in the winter), quiet and progressive enough and very comfortable.

Buy again: Yes more than likely

Great winter tire, winter 2011/12 was my first season with them, so I didn’t get to try them in snow, but noticeably better in the wet and especially in cold/wet conditions. Bought secondhand this time, but will buy them new when the time comes.

Got these tires on special offer for winter driving & work a treat on the motorway and very resonsive. Around the awful city of Sheffield these tires are a bit to keen and can feel the abs kicking as the tires grip to the gravel on the road. Not a bad thing and proves how good at gripping they are. Tires only 1,000 miles old and not driven hard so virtually no wear at all. Can't really comment on driving in dry conditions and will swap these back to non winter tires when it warms up.

First season on winters, no issues so far but can't give a realistic rating on Wear. It has only been wet or cold since fitting them so again dry grip may be slightly unfair.

Was out in the snow on Sunday without any problems. Good traction and none of the back-end action you may expect from a rear wheel drive in the snow. In the slush and wet still performing well and giving the performance I am used to.

By far the best tires I have ever had. If you have to get around in the snow then fit a pair. I'm driving a front wheel drive vectra sri which usually has crap road holding and massive understeer except in the snow because it goes nowhere. I fitted a pair of these michelins on the front and haven't had any problems in the snow or ice. The difference in the wet is so noticable I thought I was driving a different car. They might be expensive new but I bought 2 on ebay part worn for buttons. They might only last me till spring but I'll be buying more for next years snow - much cheaper option than buying a range rover and you won't look like a complete tit into the bargain.
