Best Winter Tire

Comments about Pilot Alpin PA3:

I have used for 2 winter seasons in Canada. I love these tires are very good in ice and snow, never had a problem with them. before i had these i had no traction on all seasons and stopping was horrible. These tires look good and seem to be lasting well, 18K driven and if they continue to wear at this rate will last for at least another 30K , use on TT as day to day driver from Nov to March on the highways and in the city. Aggressive driving on and off. live on a mountain and roads are never a problem and feel safe.

Refined winter traction and handling

Comments about Pilot Alpin PA3:

I have had these tires on my 2007 Acura TSX for the first time this season, I find that they do the job and have had not problems with traction or handling, they are not a tractor tire with knobbly tread that will get you out of the muck and mire (if that's what you want then you have to pay the price of a noisy rumble all the time), for me I want good traction and handling with a quiet ride .. and that is what this tire gives .. great performance all round in wintry conditions.

Have had these on my 1997 e36 for 3 winters, excellent traction/ stopping in snow and ice. Without these tires my rear drive 328i felt like driving a dinner plate on a skating rink ice.
