Thumbs up Michelin Pilot Alpins Rock!

In the snow today, my Michelin Pilot Alpins kicked major butt! I had the "pleasure" of driving on Yoko's during the first winter storm and the car was all over the road. : With Alpins, they bit right down and cut through the slush and snow. Awesome! I strongly recommend them.

Im also having a great time with about 4 inches on the ground today!

Conti xtreme contacts here,,,,, Hit the gas all 4 spin,,,,, drifting is a blast,, it really sounds like the wrc x box game when all 4 get spinning in the snow!!!!

Just watch out for those big snow drifts and your intercooler

I'm running the Pilot Alpins too although in 215/45/17 and I'm very happy with them in the snow and ice that we had in the NorthEast these past two weeks. The best about the Pilot Alpins is I was still able to hold a sustained .89 G on a dry parking lot. The Pilot Alpins aren't the best snow tire, but they may be the best compromise out there for performance/snow.
