PILOT ALPIN 5

A wonderful tire, initially I bought two pieces for the front axle because on the back I had hankook and cept evo 3 that still had life in them, after two days of driving I couldn't resist and bought two more :)), magnificent in 300 km I had the chance to test them only at temperatures below 0 in all conditions: wet, dry, icy, snowy. It is the most complete tire I have put on my car so far and it is clear to me that from now on I will only buy pa5 for the winter. It's surprising to me because from the reviews I saw that the tires would actually be narrower, for me it's the other way around and I don't have rim protection on them, it's surprising how a 245 tire is wider than an 8.5 j rim, and one more thing is surprising, how this tire at the same time is extremely comfortable but has an extremely stiff sidewall, in turns the car holds itself and it seems to me that the roll has decreased when switching from Hankook to Michelin for winter including the summer Pilot Sport 5 ones have a slightly softer sidewall.
In conclusion, a wonderful tire in all road conditions, it remains to be seen with wear.
I RECOMMEND

I ran the PA5 as a dedicated winter tire on a GR Corolla in winter 2023 (~3000 miles) and then transferred the same set of tires to a Civic Type R for winter 23/24 (another ~3000 miles.)
My most notable findings:
This 235/40/18 had an actual tread width more like a 225 or ever a 215, by eye. They looked super stretched on the OEM 18x8.5 GRC wheel where the same size PS4 looked almost pinched. My theory is that they bank on the very textured sidewall to play in deep snow traction thanks to the stretch.
Wow, is the tread shallow. I had to double check the sidewall to confirm that these are indeed 3PMSF rated.
And then.. they did great in the snow. Of course not as well as Blizzaks or other dedicated snow tires I've used, especially in the deeper stuff. But light snow and even the packed-down snow/ice stuff, they did significantly better than any all-season I've run. I will say they struggled for grip under acceleration in the CTR in all conditions, but that is reasonable.
It was a bit of a shock to switch over to my summer tires from the PA5s and not feel an immense improvement in performance. That is to say it is crazy how close in performance the Pilot Alpin 5 is to the PS4's of the GRC. I have a few friends who have nice cars but are lazy and run snow tires year-round. Boy did I have a recommendation for them!
I didn't put enough miles on them to judge the wear before selling them (due to no longer needing them) but the Civic seemed to be burning through the fronts a bit quickly.

Been using them for 2 seasons now on a Subaru wrx.
Slush category - 7
Snow they drive great! In slush theres a bit of understeer but controllable in a awd car with a bit of power.
Ice, I've only driven on a iced over driveway and it faired pretty well.
Updated: road ice, the tires will slip soo be careful.

this is last time buying michelin. Im change snow tyres a hankook.

I have been driving with these on for almost a year now. Their performance is outstanding even during breaking during summertime.
