Tyre reviews Michelin Pilot Alpin PA5 SUV. Page 1 97

Great tires. I put Alpin Sport on all my cars.
I've tried a lot of different tires.
It's desirable to change after 3 seasons - it becomes slippery. All other characteristics are excellent even after three years.

Quiet tire. Does not hold very well on ice.

Terrible!!!! We are in shock from such service, the tires arrived dirty, wet, in disgusting condition, and it costs 250k.

The tread is soft and quiet when passing over joints.
I haven't encountered better tires in snowy slush and in water. Hakka6 is sticky compared to it, and it would aquaplane and lose sharp handling. It handles puddles at speed better than summer tires (Conti Sport Contact 6)
The passability is also great, it passed almost 20 cm of freshly fallen snow without slipping.
Among the conditional "minuses", it is slightly less gripping on ice than Hakka (as it seemed to me from memory)

These tires are great.

Excellent acoustic comfort, good ride smoothness. Good steering stability.

Wanted to get more for that kind of money.
They pull well in the snow, on ice the controllability is average, the side drift is very strong, a little snow under the wheels and the car is carried away.
At 0 degrees, the grip is good only in the snow, ice under the snow is an insurmountable obstacle for them.
More was expected from such tires.
Bridgestone in comparison is much better.
These tires are more suitable for the climate of the Krasnodar region.

The tires are excellent, I've tried them in snow and ice, as well as at temperatures above 15 degrees. I've been using them for over 2 months. I think they are the best tires for the Crimean winter, when you can encounter all types of precipitation and even heat during the winter. They have shown themselves from the best side, I'm very glad that I purchased exactly this variant of tires.

Bought these tires for RAV 4 (Michelin Pilot Alpin PA5 SUV 235/65 R17 108H XL). Very good and quiet tires. They perform excellently on all surfaces, except ice! On ice, you need to be more careful. Special thanks to Mosavtoshina, they worked clearly and promptly!

15.04.25, ordered summer tires Michelin Latitude Sport 3 in the same size.

Overall, the tires are "normal".
I used to drive on Nokian Hakkapeliitta SUV (non-studded) in sizes from R18 to R21. I put them on all my cars for at least 15 years.
Now they're not available, or the price for one wheel is comparable to a whole set (4 wheels) in 2021)).
I spent a long time looking for an alternative or replacement, and eventually decided to try Michelin.
After 3 months, what can be said for sure:
1. On "dry" asphalt, everything is fine. Especially on long distances, like in the summer.
2. On snow, it often tends to skid. Especially during intense acceleration, the "electronic assistants" may kick in.
3. On ice, I haven't encountered it yet, but I think it's comparable to snow.
The only small drawback is the noise. Next year, I'll glue noise insulation on the tires, like the summer ones, from the factory.
Overall, I'm satisfied for now.
For the city, where it's dry in winter or constantly slushy, it's very suitable.
