We've been getting dumped on for a couple of days so I was a little late getting the snow tires on, but this morning I finally got it done. Picked up a set of Michelin Pilot Alpines and man what a difference! The pic sucks, but they really grip and they were quiet as the original Michelins the car came with. Anyone else have experience with these tires?





Wife took this yesterday morning while we were still under blizzard warnings. Luckily the lake effect snow hit the east side of town instead of us. We only got about 8 inches, while they got over 2 feet.

 

That's actually an all-season tire isn't it? Pilots is a performance line, not a snow tread line. I think all-seasons are a good choice for 90% of folks.

 

No the Pilot Alpine is a snow tire. Snow tires do not get a tread wear rating designation.


Having trouble attaching the link, but you can cut and paste the link below into your address bar to see the specs.
