Given 84% while driving a Volkswagen Amarok permanent 4x4 (255/55 R19) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
I have been using these tires for a couple of winters on my 3.0 lt Amarok. Typical Michelins… very correct tires with low wear rate. I ve been doing tire development in the past and rallied internationally for 35 years. I have competed in 30 winter rallies. Tires are always a compromise. These could possibly be a little better on dry cold conditions ( they are good but could be even better), they are excellent on the wet and they are working very well on winter conditions ( snow, ice, mixed etc ) You don’t get any unpleasant surprises and they wear out fine as a winter tire. All winter tires get noticeably less grippy the second winter and deteriorate the third one.The compound gets harder every summer left on the store. The LA2 is a very good and honest tire for Central and Southern European ( alpine ) climates. I just ordered one set as I heard the model will probably change in the near future.

Excelent tire for all kind of situations. Highly recommended! I live hi up in mountains and the roads are full of snow and ice all winter season. The ride is always comfortable, safe and fun with this kind of tires.

Great Winter tire in all.

Given 96% while driving a (225/45 R17) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Fitted on a 4x4 Range Rover evoque, a 2wd Renault megane and a 4x4 Ford ranger and a 2wd Ford transit, - living in the mountains (pyranees) regular drives up and down long climbs with 10%+ inclines, tight hairpin turns etc. The best snow tires on the market, faultless.

The purpose of a winter tire is maximum grip/saftey in adverse condtions, get to a destination safely, in snowy, slushy, icey conditons - all tires are capable enough in generally wet or dry roads.
