Finally got Michelin Alpin 5 winter tires
#16
Had a chance to try out the new tires in adverse conditions and they are great! Did 120 miles in 3 hours of freezing rain yesterday and today did 30 miles in a bit of snow (<0.5" - triggered the ABS a few times) and some light blizzard.
After 150 miles on the Alpin 5 I can say they are quiet, comfortable and do a nice job in the slippery stuff.

Perhaps a little late (or very early) as winter is over in most places but I found this brilliant review (by a person who specializes in tire reviews) of the Michelin Alpin 5 on a 992 C2S which I thought was worth sharing:

I've driven around enough with these tires to say that they're great on both snow & ice. I definitely recommend them to anyone who lives somewhere with a real winter.
