Performance Analysis

Michelin Latitude Alpin 2 - Official Image

Across five winter SUV tests, the Michelin Latitude Alpin 2 shows a clear bias toward wet and snow capability, peaking with an overall win in the 2018 Auto Zeitung test and a 2nd place in the 2013 Toroleo test. Its standout wet braking/handling and strong snow performance recur, but dry braking/handling and efficiency (rolling resistance) are consistent weak spots. Price is repeatedly among the highest, tempering its value proposition. Overall, it performs best when conditions are wet or snowy, with middling to weak results in dry and efficiency metrics leading to mid-pack finishes in broader test fields.
