If you are sure that you will not drive your car in the snow then the alpin will be fine. If you plan on driving in the snow then think about the x ice or another true winter tire.

Thanks. That's really useful information. I was leaning toward the Michelin Alpin, but I live in Connecticut and need to be able handle real snow.
