Michelin ALPIN 6

Winter
Premium
6.3 /10 Conditionally recommended

The Alpin 6 was introduced back in 2019, but still holds up surprisingly well compared to the current competitors. It's pricey, but Michelin promises it will maintain it's performance during the whole lifespan, which is rarely tested.
