Tesla Model X 90 D Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV given 79% (265-50-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4700 easy going miles
This is the first winter I have fitted these tires. I have driven them for 2 months and 7,500 km.
Previously I had the Nokian WR SUV 3 for 7 winters. I was very happy with them and always had excellent traction in snowy conditions and never loss of traction or slippage. They showed hardly any wear, but replaced them after 7 years as a precaution.
I chose the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV based on the reviews here, as it came first in snow handling and snow traction and third in snow braking. The successor to the Nokian WR SUV 3 that I had before, the WR SUV 4 seems to be an old tire now (even if still available in my market) and Nokian does not list it any longer on its website. The corresponding Nokian tire, the Snowproof 2, fared less well in the tests than the Michelin Pilot Alpin 5 SUV, so I chose the latter.
My first experience in snow with the Michelins is frankly a disappointment, I am afraid. I have had several moments of loss of grip either when moderately accelerating uphill (my car is AWD) or when turning at moderate speed (20 km/h?).

Also, they have a quite high rolling resistance and my consumption has gone up from around 20 kWh/100 km to 23 kWh/100 km. I would have expected to compensate that with snow grip, but apparently that is not the case from my experience.

Otherwise, they are very silent and comfortable.

These are my initial thoughts and I cannot say anything about wear yet. Let's see how they evolve over the years and what the market offers when replacement is due in around 7 years, if I still have the car. But if I had to buy a set of new winter tires for my car now, I would not choose them again, I am afraid.
