But now, after the first few weeks of using the winter tires from Michelin, I have already noticed a slightly increased fuel consumption. This fuel consumption weighs now, also with regard to the many positive features of the Michelin Alpin A4 tire is not difficult, but is still a small shortcoming. The manufacturer should therefore correct the winter tire from Michelin.
