I have the Artic Alpines for Winter here in snowy (not when New England gets it) WNY. This is on my NG900... no Viggen 8oC , yet still fun! 8oD
They worked great all last winter! Went to Montreal and back for the annual ski pilgrimage with no problems, and back and forth on the Thruway a lot with the same positive results. A little 'whiny' when wet, but great traction in all conditions seen. Plenty of confidence in them!!
It was designed to be a bit more 'aggressive' than a 'normal' snow tire. The engineers' thinking was that one does not see snow ALL of the time during the winter, but it handles very well when necessary. This is good for me who does a lot of highway miles, which are 'relatively' better taken care of - snow-removal wise. It is all a trade-off.
These are not the Pilot Alpines, but they set me back maybe $88 a piece with mount, balance, etc. Well worth it in my opinion! I still haven't put them on for this year, but I guess I will do it this weekend.
Hope this helps! Thanks.
