Ranked #5 of 7
The Michelin Alpin 6 secured the fifth position out of seven competitors, receiving a final rating of '-'. Despite achieving near-top results on snow, it was held back by a weak performance on dry asphalt. On wet surfaces, it exhibited soft transitions at the limit but began to push outward in corners sooner than its rivals. The tire's pronounced understeer compromised its sporty capabilities, and although its braking distance was relatively long, it remained acceptable. Additionally, it delivered a smooth ride over cross-joints. It performed admirably on snow, excelling with nearly the best individual score, though it required larger steering angles to maximize corner grip.
