No, your winter set looks great !

But the Michelin Pilot Alpin 2 is maybe not the right choise ! A lot of other makes sell new types of winter tyres, more performant on ice, snow, and even on rain & dry. The average milleage is also improved.

The new Pilot Alpin 3 is almost available from factory, but I'didn't ear anything about the 1st comparison tests.

I think the 135 set looks really nice!

You woundn't have pics with your 172's to compare?

The 3rd pic above IS the 172! They are very similar, but the 172s are more geometric, as well as 19".

I love the 172's but the 135's are not that bad either.
