As an Emergency Mobile Tyre Service business, we at Lifesavers Emergency Tyres Ltd. have extensive experience with a wide range of tyres. One tyre that consistently stands out in our experience is the Michelin Alpin, specifically in the size 225/45 R17, fitted on various Audi S Line models.

Mid-Life Performance Review
We recently reviewed the mid-life performance of the Michelin Alpin tyres on an Audi S Line. Here are our detailed observations:

Grip and Traction:
The Michelin Alpin tyres provide excellent grip on both dry and wet roads. The traction is particularly impressive during winter conditions, offering a safe and controlled drive. Even at the mid-life stage, these tyres maintain their superior grip, ensuring confidence and security while driving.

Noise Levels:
One of the standout features of the Michelin Alpin tyres is the minimal road noise. Our customers frequently comment on the quiet and smooth ride these tyres offer. This is especially appreciated during long journeys, where reduced noise levels significantly enhance driving comfort.

Handling and Comfort:
The handling of the Audi S Line with Michelin Alpin tyres is precise and responsive. The tyres absorb road imperfections well, providing a comfortable ride even on uneven surfaces. This balance between performance and comfort makes the Michelin Alpin a preferred choice for many of our customers.

Durability:
Durability is another area where the Michelin Alpin excels. We have fitted numerous sets of these tyres for our customers, and the feedback regarding their longevity is consistently positive. Even at the mid-life point, the tyres show minimal wear, which speaks volumes about their build quality and durability.

Customer Feedback:
As a business, we value customer feedback highly. The consistent praise for Michelin Alpin tyres from our customers is a testament to their quality. Many have highlighted the tyres' great grip, low noise levels, and overall pleasant driving experience.

Wery good grip on snow and ice, bought a car with Dunlop Garspic DS2 couldnt start moving without drifting, after week bought Alpin, difference wery big.
after 10000 km no signs of heavy usage. still more than 7mm. Very quit and stabile even on big speed and in curves. recomend it to anyone.

Very good tyre impressive grip in the wet as in the snow (in Romania we have a lot of snow in the winter), quiet and progressive enough and very comfortable.

Buy again: Yes more than likely

Great winter tyre, winter 2011/12 was my first season with them, so I didn’t get to try them in snow, but noticeably better in the wet and especially in cold/wet conditions. Bought secondhand this time, but will buy them new when the time comes.

Got these tyres on special offer for winter driving & work a treat on the motorway and very resonsive. Around the awful city of Sheffield these tyres are a bit to keen and can feel the abs kicking as the tyres grip to the gravel on the road. Not a bad thing and proves how good at gripping they are. Tyres only 1,000 miles old and not driven hard so virtually no wear at all. Can't really comment on driving in dry conditions and will swap these back to non winter tyres when it warms up.

First season on winters, no issues so far but can't give a realistic rating on Wear. It has only been wet or cold since fitting them so again dry grip may be slightly unfair.

Was out in the snow on Sunday without any problems. Good traction and none of the back-end action you may expect from a rear wheel drive in the snow. In the slush and wet still performing well and giving the performance I am used to.

By far the best tyres I have ever had. If you have to get around in the snow then fit a pair. I'm driving a front wheel drive vectra sri which usually has crap road holding and massive understeer except in the snow because it goes nowhere. I fitted a pair of these michelins on the front and haven't had any problems in the snow or ice. The difference in the wet is so noticable I thought I was driving a different car. They might be expensive new but I bought 2 on ebay part worn for buttons. They might only last me till spring but I'll be buying more for next years snow - much cheaper option than buying a range rover and you won't look like a complete tit into the bargain.

the best tyres ever, tyres that saved me- my car in many different situations, now in the snow didn't show any difficulties at all, super tyres, recommend to all drivers, snow, rain or dry tyres are just made to save you and others on the road, just Perfect of all 100%
