Car Forum / Acura Cars / September 2004Winter Tires for 2001 TL
I'm considering the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 for my TL. Any thoughts? -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. I had those on my TL and they were really loud and "whistled" when wet. I got these Goodyears next and they are great: http://www.goodyeartires.com/goodyeartireselector/display_tire.jsp?prodline=Ultr a+Grip+Ice&mrktarea=Winter btw, I live in Nova Scotia - winter lasts six months MZ > I'm considering the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA2 for my TL.

I would prefer a higher rating such as H, because I understand that translates into better handling on dry pavement (which is most of the driving I do in the city in winter). Goodyear has the Eagle Ultra Grip GW3 that are rated H92, same as the Pilot Alpin PA2. Anybody else has issues with the PA2? Thanks, btw. I appreciate the feedback. -- Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. Seems to me to be a trade off between handling in the ice and snow and performance on dry. Although "Q" is only rated to 99 mph, I am much more confident driving in slush at 65mph with these than another tire which compromises the winter handling for dry performance - then again, as I mentioned, I am in Nova Scotia where these are real issues on a daily basis for up to six months!
