MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 5

Great. The comfort and control is next level.

I purchased these tires as dedicated winter tires for my Golf R, I wanted a tire that would still be high performance while providing excellent snow traction. I have driven these on mountain passes in the snow and have been extremely pleased with traction in wet, dry and snow as well as comfort/road noise is well controlled. I will mention the first few hundreds kilometres driven I was concerned with traction however it seems that with some miles on them any concerns I had have gone away (I would assume any release compound from manufacturing wore off). It's worth mentioning these tires have one of the nicest looking sidewalls should that be important.

These are OK winter tires for my RWD Jaguar F-Type but grip isn the snow isn't what I was hoping for.

These tires perform well overall, with excellent braking and forward traction. However, the grip on snow while turning is noticeably lacking. They are a bit pricey, and I believe there are better value-for-money options out there—but until I find them, these will do the job.

I highly recommend this tire for Model 3s. If you’re a 3 owner looking to size up, this tire has worked really well for me so far. I came from the PA4s, the 5s are more quiet, handling is great on my RWD car. The size up will impact range but I’ve maybe seen an increase of 5-15Wh/km. Increasing the size has improved the ride as well. The car soaks up potholes with a bit more grace. It’s not going to make up for the stiff suspension though. The extra thickness has saved my wheels from minor curb rash (if you hit the curb hard enough, tires will not do much to protect your wheel). All of this^ coupled with the ridiculous value (paid ~$1300). I’d any day recommend these to OEM fitment.
