Switched from the Alpin today and put on a Yoko (Avid ENVigor ZPS 195-55-16). I haven't had a chance to give it a good workout yet, but just running a couple miles down the road, I think I like the feel of it better. When the Alpin would rest on any sort of rise (a ridge in the road, gravel, etc), at slow speeds, it always felt like I was having to muscle it to keep it upright. This felt a little more like a round tire.
That was my only complaint everabout the Michelin though. I put it on around 7500 miles, and am at 48,000 right now. It probably could have gone a few more, but I'm about to haul the Timeout to the coast, and felt it was a good time to change.
