Tyre reviews Michelin Alpin A3 874

I've driven 4500 km on it through winter. It's great for driving on city asphalt as well as for driving on fresh or refrozen snow - it's quiet, confidently brakes and turns.

I've already driven on this set for 4 winters on two different cars - a Volvo s60 with a front-wheel drive, manual transmission, and a Mercedes-Benz C200K with a rear-wheel drive, automatic transmission. The overall experience has been very positive, but the performance on different cars has been quite different, especially when it comes to acceleration on snow and ice. On the Volvo, acceleration on snow was sluggish, with constant wheel spin, likely due to the manual transmission and the D5

Review of Michelin Alpin A3 195/65/15 T winter tires
12.11 in Kyiv in the morning on summer - ABS did not turn off. In the evening, I changed to Alpin A3.

Very poor on ice

I'll say it straight away: on ice, it's very bad!!! I had to emergency brake on black ice, if it weren't for ABS and 13 years of driving experience (as I think), I wouldn't have avoided a "kiss" with the Toyota standing ahead. Another thing - on rolled snow when braking, it easily skids, and ABS often kicks in, I think this is explained by the characteristics of behavior, just like on black ice

Terribly noisy, and soft, but rolls faster

Holds the road well. The car definitely goes faster compared to Russian tires :) Where I could hardly reach 160 on Russian tires, on this one it's all easy and 170, well, that's a rough comparison of course :)

QUALITY SPEAKS FOR ITSELF!

The tires are SUPER! For driving in Kiev, it's the best option. Designed for driving on slush, which is exactly the state of the roads that prevails in the city in winter. I've driven two seasons, and it has proven itself to be very good. In puddles, the car doesn't skid, on slush it doesn't hydroplane (compared to other winter tires). At speed, the car drives

excellent tire
installed three days ago, pulls great on snow, managed to try it on ice too (at -4 it was raining, road was like glass), and I only realized the road was icy when I got out of the car. size 205/60 R16 (somehow this size is not listed here)
Pros: excellent tire
Cons: expensive

Before buying, I spent a long time choosing, visiting almost all the stores in the city, reading a lot of reviews and stopped at "MICHELIN". I join many, in the city without words, (where only the fallen snow, slush, various mess, a lot of water). On ice, it shows itself weak (if not to consider that it is not studded tire), but in general, I'm not even thinking, I would buy it again. Plus, at a

Extremely strong side slip. Rear-end skidded onto the curb at a speed of 5 km/h and a deceleration of 40 km/h during a 90° turn, causing the entire vehicle to slide sideways. Overall, the tire is good, but they charge a lot for the brand. Very weak sidewalls (torn against the asphalt) and blisters appear on the tread (very sorry for the tread is still normal). The tire is soft and starts to oscillate

I've driven on them for three winters. What can I say: excellent tire for soft, slushy winters, handling on dry and wet asphalt is excellent, quiet, inexpensive, very wear-resistant (driven for three winters, still have two winters left).

Minuses - not good on snow and ice, got stuck in the yard more than once, when accelerating, the anti-lock braking system regularly flashes. In general, if the roads are poorly cleaned and there's a lot
