excellent tyres. Hugely impressive grip in snow - with the subaru 4wd I've had no issues whatsoever driving in hard packed, slush or 24 inches of fresh snow. The car still takes a bit of stopping but on bends and corners the grip is either good, or the sliding controllable.
Would thoroughly recommend for foul weather use.
Also quieter on the road than my 18" low profiles.

Subaru diesel Outback. Original Yokohama Geolanders worn out at 24,000 miles. ATS advised try the Pilot Alpin and they have been fabulous. I do 24,000 miles a year and a lot of off road forestry work. They now need replacing after 40,000 miles but I'm finding it hard to get a supplier. ATS tell me they are not in stock at Michelin.
I do not want to go back to Yokohama as although cheaper to fit they cost more over time.

Mine have done 50,000 miles on a 3.0L R Subaru Outback which has been pushed at times.
With these tyres I have followed a Toyota Land Cruiser up a steep muddy back which the Toyota struggled up with BFG ATs!
The alignment was doe when fitted and the have worn very evenly.
A good tyre especially at the mileage.

Good price, compare well to my previous Goodyear Eagle AS but are cheaper and seem to be wearing better. Not as much grip but not far off.

Whatever the subjective ratings on other points the reason I have LM30s is because of their excellent characteristics on snow and ice and they are in my experience fantastic at just that!! (so I will go out on a limb and say on of the best tyres out there for proper winter driving. I live and drive in Austria, BTW)

Track work limited by tread. Same tyre on Forester lasted 35,000 miles but these are done at 24,000.
Subaru's 4WD gives such good grip that most conditions feel 100% secure.
What are the options for replacement?

Happy with the tyres in every respect EXCEPT for the wear. 32,000km and they all need to be replaced. I got 74,000km out of my Michelins on my previous car (Subaru Impreza) so I know it's not my driving.

Great tyre in the February '09 snow, never had an issue with traction or safety. The tyre is reasonably quiet but I am very unhappy with the wear. I have driven 16,000 miles on this set of tyres and I have about 2,000 left at most - this is poor as I don't drive them hard and they cost ?150 each. I will not buy again

Fitted to the front of a Subaru Outback when I bought it. Have done 1000 miles before changing them to winter tyres. I will not be reusing them next summer. These have got to be the worst tyres I have ever had the displeasure of using. Poor cornering in the dry with sudden loss of traction at speed. Positively dangerous in the wet with no idea whether the car will make it round the corner at all. Also noisier than the winter tyres. If you value your life then avoid these tyres at all costs.
