Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 are really good tyres, they behave really well in autumn-winter season.

I bought nnew Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 tyres in the size 215/55R17 and I can say that they are rather designed for moderate driving. I don't drive too aggressively (it's impossible to do so on these tyres) sometimes ASR can switch on, especially on wet, not to mention during starting on snow. When braking, ABS also is likely to switch on, and the car is in pertfect technical condition and has never had an accident. The tyres are rather not suitable for more powerful cars, oppositely to the manufacturer's description. The tyre, however, grips well in the corners and absorbs bumps well, but doesn't do well in deep snow.. Now, I bought Michelin Alpin A4 to see how much they are worth. For more powerful cars I'd definitely recommend something else.

I have a previous generation of this tyre, a Pilot Alipn PA2 on my E-Class and the older version is unfortunately better than the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3. I think the problem is that "sunflower" component added to PA3. When it's cold it may allow to maintain the tyre's flexibility, but ... The tyre's just too "slippery" on dry.

Previously, my A6 was fitted with Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 with H speed index - and unfortunately those were better :( my purchase of Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 in this case was determined by V speed index (max speed of 150 MPH) because recent winter are snowless and I wanted to enjoy the speeds but these tyres in a 350 HP car do only an average job, maybe because of XL marking. Braking on snow is rather average, on a dry but slightly damp road on small roundabouts they slide - what is more at low speed. The tyres are probably a balanced mixture of a relatively high max speed and the quality conditioned by tyre construction for greater speeds. Abrasion is difficult for me to assess because I only did a few thousand miles, I didn't have any collisions, but it's rather a result of moderate and careful driving in winter, because they it's hard to go crazy on them. Overall, if someone will drive calmly on them, they will definitely do well, but speed freaks should get something else.
