Just got my Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 N specs on and can't wait for the white stuff.
Anyone have experience with these on a C2?

There are tons of threads on this topic. You will be fine with winter tires with all that weight over the back wheels. Your problem will be clearance only.
Enjoy the snow.

^^^Impressive.
I had to put Hakka's on my BMW as the Dunlop Winter Sport were awful.
Kinda scared me off with respect to winter sport tires.

Great Tire Choice. I had that same setup and everything was perfectly fine in regards to driving in cold temps and in snow. Clearance of course will be your only issue.
In my experience I actually like the feel of the Michelin Tires in the winter than that of the Stock Pirelli in the summer.

Look up Nick Murrayâs YouTube channel. He has driven his previous C2S a bunch in the snow.

That's the same tire that I use on my 991 TTS. Great winter tire.

Only had a short drive home so didn't really have time to get a good feel but then again they had the rears at 46psi...

I tried almost everything on a prior e34 BMW 530i (really cool car with a 3.0L 32-valve v-8) and hated everything except for the Hakkas. Blizzaks were good but wore down quickly. Liked the Hakkas the best.

A tuned BMW 1M in the snow is not an easy go but was drivable with the Hakka's.
I'm hoping the Alpin's do well.

Couldnt back up my driveway if there was any snow on it. Fortunately our roads are cleared pretty well every storm. Mine are on..

I have a set of Hakkas on my wife’s Audi. The Michelins aren’t as good as the Hakkas in snow and ice, but they are significantly better on cold, dry pavement. They are much quieter too.

You couldn't back up your driveway in snow with the Alpins?
