Michelin Alipn A4 are a total disaster. I bought them last year to my Volvo S40 2.0D. Right after the purchase I noticed that they rumble in the speeds of 55-65MPH. I told Oponeo about that but I noticed that I will start a complaint procedure when I'll be putting my summer tyres on. I was using Nokians and they weren't as noisy as the Michelin Alpin A4. The seller was very suprised. He told me that they sold plenty of Michelin Alpin A4 and nobody was ocmplaining about them. When I finnaly made a complaint to Michelin they told me that they don't know why the tyres howl so much and they gave me a new set but it was the same. Even my girlfirend is making jokes about the sound of my tyres. Grip properties = poor. On wet road surface you can easily lose the grip. I dont recommend!

I was very disapointed with Michelin Alpin A4. I read a lot of reviews and tests and they seemed to be ok. But when the snow felt down it was a total disaster. This tyres should not be winter approved! Braking properties - zero. ABS and ASR is on all the time. I drove on may tyre in the past and none of them was as poor as Alpin A4 are. I bought new Pirelli Snow Control 2 and they were poor as well. I think that the new models are not sufficient. It is better to buy older and approved tyres rather than new ones.

Once the tyres hummed loudly and very beat. On the advice of the complaint department did attempt Oponeo road, where it turned out that all the tyres are not suitable for driving. The complaint was considered - and this plus the Oponeo and Michelin as a fair approach. But if all four tyres are defective high-end, something's not right.

I have my own fitting garage since 2010 and I put new Michelin Alpin A4 195/65R15 to my Audi. Unfortunately, I noticed few faults. In comparison to Continental, Michelin Alpin A4 are much more noisy and braking on ice, mud or snow is dramatic. They swim when Aquaplaning appears. And the biggest minus is that they cracked after one season. I do not recommend Michelin Alpin A4.

Tyre overrated. Noisy at speeds above 75 km / h and huczenia buzzing sensation, as if the sound of the wheel bearings. A car new salon. Before changing the tyres on this summer there was a loud hum.
