Review by: Lifesavers Emergency Tires Ltd.
As an Emergency Mobile Tire Service business, we at Lifesavers Emergency Tires Ltd. have extensive experience with a wide range of tires. One tire that consistently stands out in our experience is the Michelin Alpin, specifically in the size 225/45 R17, fitted on various Audi S Line models.
Mid-Life Performance Review
We recently reviewed the mid-life performance of the Michelin Alpin tires on an Audi S Line. Here are our detailed observations:
Grip and Traction:
The Michelin Alpin tires provide excellent grip on both dry and wet roads. The traction is particularly impressive during winter conditions, offering a safe and controlled drive. Even at the mid-life stage, these tires maintain their superior grip, ensuring confidence and security while driving.
Noise Levels:
One of the standout features of the Michelin Alpin tires is the minimal road noise. Our customers frequently comment on the quiet and smooth ride these tires offer. This is especially appreciated during long journeys, where reduced noise levels significantly enhance driving comfort.

The handling of the Audi S Line with Michelin Alpin tires is precise and responsive. The tires absorb road imperfections well, providing a comfortable ride even on uneven surfaces. This balance between performance and comfort makes the Michelin Alpin a preferred choice for many of our customers.
Durability:
Durability is another area where the Michelin Alpin excels. We have fitted numerous sets of these tires for our customers, and the feedback regarding their longevity is consistently positive. Even at the mid-life point, the tires show minimal wear, which speaks volumes about their build quality and durability.

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.
