So its Jan. and should start snowing soon also geting very cold. I just recently ordered some Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2. Dont want to risk anything with my summer tires. The Alpins will go on some crappy 15in rims I bought a while back. Does anyone have experience or hear somthings about these tires?? Supposedly they are pretty good........

 

You should be fine. Like I said in another snow tire thread on here today, I had some cheap Hankook snows, and they worked great. You shouldn't have anything to worry.

As I mentioned in that other topic...

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by nsxtasy &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">There are two basic kinds of winter tires. Tires that the Tire Rack calls "studless winter tires", like the Bridgestone Blizzak WS-50 and Michelin X-Ice, offer the best traction on snow and ice. Tires that they call "performance winter tires", like the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 and Michelin Pilot Alpin, are not quite as good on snow and ice but have improved ride and handling at high speeds and in moderate temperatures. The choice between the two often depends on how severe the winter is in your area (as well as on your budget, since the performance winter tires are usually more expensive than the studless winter tires). Here in Chicago, I choose the studless ones for their better traction on snow and ice.</TD></TR></TABLE>

As long as you are looking for a "performance winter tire" (and its advantages) rather than a "studless winter tire" (and its advantages), then the Pilot Alpin is a good choice.
