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
- Wet grip score of 5.5 is below expectations for a winter tire, potentially compromising safety in slushy or rainy conditions.
- Lacks the 3PMSF certification, which may be a concern for those needing proven severe snow performance.
- The Continental VikingContact 7 generally offers better wet grip and snow traction, making it a more versatile choice for mixed winter conditions.
