Review on MICHELIN Pilot Alpin 5 225/45 R18 95V winter by Janis Berzins ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Overall good, but expected more.

Perhaps, knowing about these shortcomings, I would buy spikes. And maybe not)))) In general, the rules of rubber. On ice, you should always be more careful, on any rubber. Some pros: Not noisy, soft (softer than my summer Continental ContiSportContact 5). On snow porridge from -5 to 0, it starts and slows down perfectly. Holds up well in long turns on flyovers. But this is all in the conditions of a mild Hong Kong winter this year (so far there has been no normal winter). In the puddles I do not notice any shortcomings. Got cons: On ice without ABS, it does not stop and does not move without slipping. Perhaps this is normal for rear-wheel drive - I don’t know, the first car is in the rear. I compare it with the Pirelli Velcro on the front wheel drive - they didn’t behave like that.
