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.
Mike, we are sorry to read that you not pleased with the mileage you received on your Pilot Alpin 5 tires.

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.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to winter tires.
>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.
XL = Extra Load
DIR = Directional
WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.
DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.
Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.
For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.
For speeds over 160mph (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

| Maximum Speed (mph) | 100 | 106 | 112 | 118 | 124 | 130 |
