Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV ZP

The Bottom Line

The Pilot Alpin 5 SUV ZP is best suited for SUV drivers who prioritize dry grip and handling in mild winter conditions. However, its lack of 3PMSF certification and lower wet grip score make it less ideal for harsher winter climates.

Important Note

Wet grip performance is subpar, which could be a safety concern in regions with frequent winter rain or slush.

Pros

  • Dry grip score of 8.5 suggests strong performance on clear winter days, especially for an SUV tire.

Cons
