Default Michelin Pilot Alpins

Anybody running new Pilot Alpins in the snow yet? Thoughts on dry road handling? Reactions?

Default I've had mine for a month now with no snow, but ...

the dry weather handling is really not too much worse than the Dunlop 8000E's, nor are they that much nosier. And they were fully $100 less for the set of four than the Dunlop Winter Sport M2's, mounted and balanced.

Default Re: Michelin Pilot Alpins

Had my 16" ers for over a month now.
Not all that noisy on the pavement Great on snow and ice. I drove from Jasper to Banff on ice and packed snow in around the same time I do it in the Summer.Extemely stable and secure on the corners.

I love that drive. Used to spend the dawn hours checking the wrecks and slideoffs for bodies.

Default Great in the Snow...

I have had no problems in the snow so far! It is not an ice tire, but better on ice than a summer tire. I love them! I have 205/55 HR 16's. Also they are very good on dry pavement also, not as good as the SP8000E's, but then again they are snow tires.
