• The Michelin Alpin 6, a Central European non-studded tire, matched Continental's TS870 in most areas. It excelled in wet and dry conditions, showing good stability in the moose test and strong aquaplaning resistance. However, like other tires in its category, it struggled more on ice and snow. The Alpin 6 lost ground in the overall rankings due to higher rolling resistance compared to its main competitor, impacting its fuel efficiency.
