Ok, I'm impressed with this tire!
In snow/ice the grip is insane, the best winter tire I have tried for ages, so much grip and so much control.
In this car, I went from Yokohama's winter tires, and the noise I measured in the car on the highway (120 km/t) was 73 dB, on a dry road, approximately 20 degrees Celsius with the old Yokohama. But with this new Michelin Alpin 6 (A6) I measured the noise to be 67-68 dB on the same road, at the same speed and same temperature! Incredible upgrade, it felt like a got a whole new car.
I will say that I normally drive a bit more aggressively than others, and I love high speed. So I push the car and tires in the corners, and I have never lost it because of a bad grip. I feel totally comfortable with this tire, and it has never let me down.
The only downside with this tire is when I'm holding still, and then accelerate and doing a left or a right turn on a wet road, and I press a little too much on the gas pedal, then my tires will spin a bit. But I guess that most tires will do that under wet conditions, so no deal-breaker for me here!
after 5000 miles, I can't see any wear, so that's nice!
I drive my tires in Denmark if that give any pieces of information for others :)
For me, this is a very nice tire, and I will give it my highest recommendation, and I will buy it again.
