Alpin 7 or Ultragrip performance 3 for high yearly mileage
I drive a Ford Focus with tyre size 205/60/16 tyre size.
I'd like to replace the continental ts830p that came with the car since those are actively dangerous in the snow. Don't buy those, ever, they are absolutely terrible!
I already have some Goodyear Ultragrip Performance 3's on the back axle but those are also pretty worn already down to 6mm and will probably only serve one more season.
I drive about 40.000 km every year so about 20.000 in the winter, so usually I put a tyre on the back axle first year, front axle second year and then I replace the tyre.
Now I've heard some rumours about Michelin tyres lasting so much longer than other brands and I wonder if I'd actually get another season out of them compared to the Goodyears.
The Goodyears are 95€ and the Michelins 109€ so if they'd last me one year extra that'd make them worth it IMO.
Does anyone have any experience with the Alpin 7 and how it compares in performance and longevity?
any help is greatly appreciated!
