Winter is approaching fast, and we all know how bad it can get in New England, so the right tire is crucial for being safe on the roads!

Moving back to FL, so no need for winter tires anymore.
The car is not a daily driver, so the tires are in exceptionally great condition!

Please forgive my lack of a tire tread measurer... I still need to acquire one, but I hope the penny test helps give you an idea.

Unfortunately, I have a 2010 Bluetec which is the 19" tires with runflat. How did you like these Alpin's? Have you tried listing on E-bay? Much bigger audience there. Good luck !

Thanks for the info.

I have had nothing but good experiences with these tires. The times that we had tremendous snowfall these tires really shined. There could be a foot of unplowed snow on the roads and these tires would just plow through it like nothing's there.
Even at times when you think you're stuck, nope, these tires just pull through. Also helps to have over 300 horses and 4-matic to power through!

Even on plowed roads these tires always left me feeling confident. I never experienced great loss of traction in any situation. Even when the highways was wet and wintery these tires just kept you on the road.

Rarely had the ESP light come on. Only on some starts, but I blame the V8 for that, or when I wanted to drift a corner.

Other than that these tires are excellent. Much better than I had originally anticipated. I have experienced Pirelli scorpion winter tires and find the Alpins to be smoother and left me feeling more confident.
