Michelin Latitude Sport 3 vs Michelin Cross Climate

black circles unable to supply Michelin Latitude Sport 3
offered alternatives
but I am not familiar with the cross climates
anyone have any real world experience?

the Latitudes have lasted just over 2 years and about 22k miles the fronts are low on the outside edges only
fair amount of tread on rears.

Wales 2013 Freelander 2 SD4 XS Auto Santorini Black

I've just put a set of CrossClimates on my FL2, £495 fully fitted for 4 x 235/55 R19s (Kwik Fit Black Friday deal). They seem to have excellent reviews, obviously too early for me to judge wear etc but in terms of wet and dry grip and overall handling, they are a marked improvement over the Goodyear Wranglers and Conti Crosscontacts I have had previously.

Worth noting that the Michelin Crossclimate SUVs are all-season M+S tyres, but have a 3PMSF winter snowflake rating too.

Had the Cross Climates on my Subaru Forester for some years without any problem ( save for two bloody big nails Laughing ) Found them to be very good, got decent mileage out of them; nice tread pattern as well. Bought mine through Black Circles who at the time gave triple Tesco points for them, worked out about £25 for buying four

Have a look a Bridgestone A005 Weather Control . In the U.K. where we get lots of rain , and a smattering of snow they are a stunning tyre . Just about 20,000 miles on a set on my Subaru , and I reckon I’ve got another 4000/5000 of good service in them . They are probably a few bob more than Cross Climates. I’ve used them in everyRoad condition possible and they have been flawless , also used off tarmac , although I’d draw the line at using them in mud 2009 GS Auto Zermatt Silver - Sold June 21 after 10 years of ownership

Hi,
Not used on a FL2 but on another car they have been very good and a new set is going on very soon 35k
may be worth looking at AT3's but possible more noise Question

Thumbs Up .
my first ever FL2 and I did keep it longer than most other cars!
But its now gone way up Norf

I put a new set of Cross Climates on June 18 and have covered around 23000 on 235 60 R18 103v. They were swapped at 10000 mile mark and have done well so far. Unfortunately haven’t had any snow use and very little off road but on icey/frosty roads they performed well. I will probably have another 5000 miles or so left before changing. There’s also 2 summers worth across France Germany Italy and Switzerland towing a caravan plus a few other weekends towing so don’t feel too hard done by.

Hi,
as a side issue the Cross climates are an All Season tyre and the latitudes a summer tyre
