Excellent High Performance Winters
First winter on them and they're very good. Exceptional handling and ride on very cold days and bare pavement. Not as good in snow an ice as the X-Ice but they didnt have my size so these are the next best
Great performing tires
I bought the Pilot Alpins tires for a BMW 5 series and shortly afterwards ICE X tires for a Lexus RX450h; both sets of tires perform exceedingly well and are confidence inspiring in all winter conditions.
From the Ist Drive with them after installation Just awesome, quieter than My previous snows and pervorm similar to my summer tires Pilot super sports
Purchased in February 2024 for the next season
Poor wear life, all other characteristics are satisfied. Would like to hear from Michelin
Poor wear life, all other characteristics are satisfied. Here are the details: Bought a new set of PA4 at Costco tire on Nov 19,2022. Only equipped this tire during the winter time (From end of November to end of March). So until today, this tire has total mileage of 10200, roughly 70% highway, 30% local drive. Both front tires have depth less than 3/32 (based on my measure), while both rear tires have roughly 6/32. Car is 2020 Mercedes-AMG C63S sedan, RWD, tire size is 245 front, 265 rear. Everything is stock. I understand the warrenty will be in half for the car like this but the wear rate for front tires are way too much. Tried to call the customer service but the auto reply suggets me to find a authorized Michelin shop and do an inspection. I went to the same Costco, where I bought the tire, their Michelin authorized technician firstly try to play around the mileage game with me, saying maybe I equip the winter tire during summer time and some other non-sense stuff. I show him my personal service log and then he started to measure the exact depth. So based on what he measured(which written on Costco Final Invoice), LF has 3/32, RF has 2/32. He says only RF is qualified for 5000 mileage warrenty, becasue of the car, it has half of the warrenty number(30k) and deduct my used 10k. LF is not qualified. He described how this warrenty works, I need to buy a new same tire and warrenty will cover roughly $110.00. I asked him what about the LF, he says he doesn't care. I am shocked... I cannot imagine the braking balance on a new tire on RF and meanwhile, the LR only has 3/32 on a rainy day. This is not the experience I expected from a brand I've been used for almost a decade. From ealier Primacy to PS4AS, then PSS mixed with PA4. I am even considering try the PS4S for the summer. I would like to get official response on this from Michelin. Thanks.
Ming, a member of our team will be in touch to discuss this situation further.
