Michelin Might Not Actually Make The Best Winter Tire For SUVs

It’s hard to write about tires without coming off sounding like a paid shill for Michelin. Their tires are just so good, that recommending them has become a cliché for good reason. Sure, they’re expensive, but it’s also hard to argue they aren’t worth it as long as you can justify the cost. Last week, we shared Tyre Reviews’ winter tire comparison test, and once again, Michelin came out on top, tied with the Bridgestone Blizzaks. But those tires were tested on a sport sedan. Is the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 still the one to get if you drive a crossover?

Thankfully, Tyre Reviews is back this week to answer that exact question. Also, while a set of Nokians was notably absent from the previous test, they did make it into this latest comparison. Not that it really changed much. The Nokian Snowproof 2s ended up in the middle of the pack due to their underwhelming performance in dry conditions. That said, they performed admirably in the snow and in the wet.
