MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 Sport

Since theses tyres were fitted the car (Porsche Macan) seems smoother and easier to drive. Very happy!

I've now driven >2000 miles on these tyres in all conditions and I'm impressed so far. The steering feels noticeably lighter at first, but you get used to it. In the dry and warm there's a slight lack of precision on initial turn (as the softer rubber moves about a bit) but the tyres then grip well. They may well be beaten (marginally) by summer tyres on a test track, but you wouldn't notice any shortfall on the public road. Grip in foul wet autumn conditions with wet leaves and mud on poor roads was exceptional. On snowy and icy roads in the alps (at down to -20c), they felt sure-footed and took the car up slopes I wouldn't have tried with just chains on the rear with summer tyres all round. On the downside, there seems to be a small fuel economy hit, losing perhaps 2-4% vs summer tyres. However, overall, there's not much compromise with these tyres vs summer and winter specifics, and I won't be bothering with a set of winter wheels any more.

Still early days but the tyres perform extremely well in the wet. Have had a touch of a slide, loss of grip, in freezing conditions which may be a source of concern, but has only happened once.

Une grande stabilité et une accroche à toute épreuve.

Very happy with the initial experience and performance. Let’s see what the longevity is like and the performance in snow
