Once Again-The Best!
Great tires; been running them for years (yes, they have worn and replaced) but they last a long time. The handling has been superb, very little noise, awesome traction and they give a comfortable ride. Net, A+
Do not buy
I would not recommend. I had a set on my Porsche and the rears lasted me only 15,300 kms, so durability is a serious issue. Will not be purchasing again. I’ve trusted Michelin for years but this is just unacceptable.

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.
Snow good grip for a front wheel drive car Stopping is excellent It's changed the characteristics of the car but that's to be expected of winter tyres Handling is softer because of the 50 profile but can still be placed into a corner better bite no understeer I have found the car to be a bit bouncy in sport setting DCC but again they are winter tyres overall very happy better than the Divanti wintoura tyres, new rubber always feels good.
These are winter tires and the first time I used them on snowy roads I was not impressed with the traction they provided.

These tires are performing as I hoped they would. While being rated a full-on winter tire I am running them year-round. They are excellent not just in snow and ice, but also during the hot summers here and in the rain. They are also quieter than I expected. I think they are a great tire and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again, or whatever the Michelin upgrade tire happens to be at that time.
Decent winter performance tire
I would give 5 stars if it had the same dry condition handling performance as the previous PA4. A winter performance tire should not be losing performance in its latest iteration.

Ice Performance!
The Pilot Alpin 5 Winter Tires have transformed my winter driving experience. They offer exceptional traction, handling, and safety on both snow and ice, without compromising on comfort or durability. For anyone looking to navigate winter roads with confidence, I highly recommend giving these tires a try. They're not just an expense; they're an investment in safety and peace of mind during the winter season.
