Michelin Latitude Alpin LA2

The Bottom Line

The Latitude Alpin LA2 is best for drivers who encounter mostly dry winter roads and prioritize handling and dry grip. However, its wet grip and lack of 3PMSF certification are significant drawbacks for those in wetter or snowier climates.

Important Note

The lack of 3PMSF certification and below-average wet grip make it less suitable for areas with frequent wet or heavy snow conditions.

Pros

  • Dry grip score of 8.5 is strong for a winter tire, providing reliable performance on cold, dry roads.
  • Handling score of 8.5 suggests this tire is responsive, which is beneficial for those who need precise control in winter conditions.
  • Comes with a 25,000-mile treadwear warranty, offering some reassurance on longevity, which is not always standard in winter tires.

Cons
