Michelin Latitude Cross

Toyota Prado 150 and Michelin LATITUDE CROSS Tyres - 125,000 kms – Have you ever got 125,000 kms out of a set of tyres that still grip in the wet??? Thats what I've got out of my Michelin LATITUDE CROSS tyres - this is my 4th Toyota Prado - usally keep them for around 200 to 250,000kms before trading for a newer model - times are tough with COVID 19 - so will be keeping this one and just buying a new set of tyres that grip and give you unbelievable mileage Show details

Great to start off but useless once they are worn – I only got 20,000km out of these on my hilux. Once the tyres got down to about 30% tread they were like driving on plastic wheels. Luckily I have a limited slip diff otherwise I legitimately wouldn't be able to drive up a hill in the rain. 3rd gear if I put my foot down in the rain on a straight road the entire back end comes out completely… Read more

sideways in a diesel hilux that makes no power.

For the first 2 years they were amazing, one of the grippiest tyres I have ever used then over the last 6 months they have started to wash out on roundabouts. In the dry going around roundabouts at slow speeds the tyres will sequel. They have gone from one of the best tyres to the worst tyres I have ever used once you get down to about 30% tread.

I am not struggling to find a decent replacement as the size, weight and speed rating I require makes my options very limiting :(

Best all rounder I've ever had on the corners – Great tyre for all conditions, fast highway, hard cornering, even holds tight in wet conditions. The tread pattern quite surprised me how good it is in the wet. Obviously shedding water out well. Off road high speed gravel and goes through mud with a level of surety, doesn't miss a beat. Never had a puncture. I think I've done about 60k+ on… Read more

them and they are just now due for replacement.

I drive pretty hard, so this length of wear is great.

They are a little noisy, but that's a very minor tradeoff for easily one of the best tyres I've ever had fitted to a Forester, and I've had 4 Foresters now.

Am getting 4 new this week, if my fitter still stocks them!

Excellent – . Great on road tyres in wet or dry conditions . Great on sand and mud . If you are looking for a hard off road tyre not so much ( I didn't buy them for that) . Long lasting 75,000 . I found highway travel really good, added 2klms per liter more than the old tyres  Show details

Extremely disappointed! – Bought these tyres for their road oriented pattern as the vehicle they were fitted to only travels highway Ks. Had them fitted at the nearest Jax store and also had them maintained under their service plan. They were rotated, balanced and aligned every 10000ks. The tread on three out of the four tyres separated at 46000Ks, resulting in serious… Read more

vibration issues. Received no explanation or follow up from Michellin at all. Worst performance from an all terrain 4x4 tyre I have ever experienced in the 30 odd years I have owned and driven a four wheel drive. Extremely disappointing for a supposed top end tyre!!

The best tyres I have ever had – 60,000 k's in on a Prado 150 and still a fair way to go. Unbeatable on the beach having done Double Island, Stradbroke and Bribie on a regular basis. Not bogged once. Good in the mud, not as aggressive as some tyres, though hey, when you feel how good they are on the road, particularly at high speed, braking and in the wet or dry, why would you… Read more

buy a set of more aggressive tyres when you would rarely need them. You do need to rotate every 10k or so to keep them wearing evenly. Really pleased. These guys run rings around any tyre I have had on the multitude of 4wd's I have had both fleet for work and my personal. Excellent on the road and more than you could ever need in the situations most of us could ever come across, Of Course excluding full mud off road which most blokes would rarely need anyway. Best of all world's in my opinion and will be sticking with these grippy, quiet and very capable tyres.

excellent tread – An excellent tread on these tyers. We are plesead with them. We get them four at a time as we save money doing this. We put them on as we need them. We also switch them around to even out the tread on both sides. It is also a good idea to change them for winter too and again in summer but you need a lot of room to store them when they go back on again in the change.  Show details

Excellent tyres – I just changed the Latitude Cross 245/70-16 after 72000 km. That's an excellent mileage. The tyres are great in wet, the best I ever had (or remember). The wear evenly, - I do change them front back every 10 -15000km. They hold well on gravel roads and were severely tested in deep sand with pressure down to 18psi. No problems there. They… Read more

started to squeek a bit when the tread went down to about 5mm.

I'd buy them again for my next car if available (the sizes are limited).

Great set of tyres – These came with my second hand Navara and I've been very happy with them. I do a mix of bitumen and dirt road driving and they handle both very well. There's minimal road noise on bitumen and they pull up very nicely when braking hard on dirt which has saved a few kangaroos over the last year. I've done some light off roading in the dry and… Read more ·  3

they were good but can't comment how they'd go in wet and muddy conditions. I suspect they wouldn't be as good as AT's with a more aggressive tread. But for mixed on road / off road duties, these fit the bill nicely.

Not as good as Yokohama Geolandar G902 – Have not had the Michelin latitude cross tyres for that long but initial thoughts. On road - They vibrate and give an unpleasantness in the ride quality and they are noisier then the original Yokohama Geolandar G902 tyres that came on Pajero GLXR 2013. Yet to see how they go in the wet. Also I 'hope' they stop in an emergency as well as the G902's… Read more

did. At this stage I wish I replaced the original tyres (G902 needed replacing after 34 thousand K's) with another set of G902's. Update: After a few long trips, the Michelin are noticeably heavier on fuel then the Geolanders, (1-1.5 litres per hundred thirstier). The Michelins also give a vague feeling through the steering wheel when compared to the original Yokohamas. When driving on gravel roads they pick up enough stones in the tread that you could pave the drive way when you get home, providing they haven't fallen out and gone through some poor sods windscreen when you got back on the bitumen. Yet to drive in truely wet conditions. When I have I will update again. Update. Driven in VERY wet conditions (bitumen). They did an outstanding job. I was surprised. 10/10 for wet conditions. I have only done 24k ks on them so far and they are picking up less stones then before. At this stage I would consider purchasing another set (despite shortcomings), purely based upon wet weather handling.

I really like them – Read many reviews and waited on delivery. So far I'm very happy with them. They feel great. They are the prefect blend of road and off-road. They look great and give the Tiguan a rugged look that suits it. Most reviews say they are quiet, which in my opinion they are, I don't notice any tyre noise at all. Feels like I got a lift coming from the… Read more

bridgestone DDs it had on it too. Looking forward to driving in the wet and off road with them too.

Fantastic tire – Michelin Latitude Cross replaced BF Goodrich A/T. From the minute I drove with these tires the difference was noticeable a smoother ride, tracking is noticably better and quieter. Tires have done 25,000 klms on winding bitumin road 2 hours travel to work 3 times a week tires worn 30% would expect 75,000 klms +. Have driven in heavy rain and cannot… Read more

fault for exceptional handling.

I will definitely purchase these tires again and again.

December 2017 update. Replacing tyres only got 52,000 klms. Very happy with comfort, quietness on road, wet road handling good not as many Kim’s as expected.

Great new tyres – I have had these Latitude Cross 255/55xR18s on my TriBeCa wagon a month. They are quiet, comfortable, and so far excellent grip on dusty gravel and seal. Quiet on our NZ coarse chip, no small ask. Yet to try them in heavy rain or snow, that will be in 6 months time. I would buy again, even though not the cheapest option. I think they are better than the original Goodyears, or susequent Toyos I had.  Show details

Brilliant tyres – Brilliant tyres, good aggressive looks, long wearing, terrific at stopping, no noise really, good on rocky places where there are no tracks. Seem ok in mud, haven't used in sand. Done about 10,000klms. Hold tyre pressures when the Cooper and Bridgestone's fell away quickly. Would buy again without considering others, regardless of price.  Show details

Good tyres for weekend warriors – Bought a set of Latitude Cross for my Outlander after extensive research. Have done 4k on it in the last month or so. They tyres are really good all rounder tyres and better than my stock tyres on wet weather - you can feel the difference. Works well on gravel and mud roads too, though I have not driven on such roads for long periods - only the… Read more

last few miles when camping. The only downside is, it is noisier than the stock tyres - especially driving at 60-70 km/h (which is most roads in the city).

If you never leave tarmac, then these tyres are not for you. For me, I am okay with the noise than get highway tyres - its still quieter than my second car!

Best tyres I have ever had – 225/65/17 Amazing tyres great grip on dry and wet ( feels like glued to the road) Filled with nitrogen from jax tyres. Very quite and comfortable drive as well. Raised clearance in my Subaru outback much better to what I previously had standard tyres Yokohama geolander 225/60/17. They are definitely worth the price.  Show details

Happy but waiting to be convinced – I have Latitude Cross R65 17 on a Toyota Prado. After travelling 20,000 kms around Queensland tarred roads and bush tracks the tyres are showing very little wear. Road noise is nothing I believe. The road handling is great in dry and wet. I will only be convinced when I have to change, can I get the big milage we all chase.

Quite happy – Feels very grippy on the wet roads a little noisy compared to my road tyres but generally good on the mud due to lots of road works in the area . Don't do any four wheel driving as my car is is only a Mitsubishi outlander but for the area I live in which is some made and unmade roads the car now feels like it doesn't slide all over the place since I am a very cautious driver Feels reliable in the wet A little noisy

Excellent performance on our Around Australia trip – After travelling 20,000 kms around Australia the tyres are showing very little wear. I was surprised how quite the road noise was compared with the original Dunlops. These are fitted to a Toyota Prado. The road handling was great. I will certainly purchase a set of these tyres when this set needs replacement.

Super quiet. Great grip in wet and dry. Good cornering grip – Purchased five new 225/65 R17 Latitude Cross's for our Toyota RAV4 six months ago. Absolutely love them! Noticeably quieter and grippier than the OEM Bridgestones. Have always been a massive Michelin fan and was so excited that we could get the Cross's for the RAV4. Have done a trip from TVL to BNE and through some pretty heavy rain. No… Read more ·  2

aquaplaning and outstanding grip in the wet. Quiet for when the kids are asleep too. Can't fault them. Quiet. Excellent grip in wet and dry. Very comfortable on the road. Seem to collect stones in tread. No other cons.

Just fitted & happy already – Fitted Latitudes to front of a Suzuki vitara diesel 2008. Immediately felt and heard the difference. Bridgestone & Kumho prior I now realise we're noisy and wandered on the road. Latitudes are so quiet and steering is 200% better. Worth the bit extra already. Be interesting to see the results when they're on the back as well. Vastly improved steering & far quieter.  Show reply

Excellent – Although a more expensive tyre than other 70/30 or 65/35 road/offroad tyres this Michelin makes the price paid worthwhile with its excellent grip especially on snow, icy slush and dirt roads. Suits my Honda CRV perfectly Quiet, smooth ride given the tread pattern, excellent grip in the wet or dry. Handles snow and icy roads here in the Snowy Mountains extremely well

Excellent – The best tyre I have experienced on a Landrover Discovery. Mine is a D2a, I have driven lots of discos and these give the best feel of any tyre I have experienced on one. I have the 246/70/16 on which are the "extra load" version. Speedo is out a little, have to be careful as GPS reads 83 when speedo reads 80. I could not be happier with these… Read more

tyres, highly recommend them.

I have mainly had BF All terrains in the past as my aftermarket tyre, these are not as "aggressive" but seem just as good off road and streets ahead on road. Super Quiet, Wet road grip fantastic, great off road Having to wait for them....Michelin order system seems a little archaic.

Excellent on road tyre for Large 4WD – I Fitted 265/70 R17 to my 06 100 Series V8 Landcruiser. These tyres are great on the highway and very good on sand and gravel but in no way an offroad tyre ( I run 285/75 R17 BF Goodrich Mud Terrains for that). Extremely good on wet roads including cornering. Even pushing pretty hard into wet bends it won't understeer, pretty good for a 3 ton… Read more

vehicle.

Very Quiet on the highway, even on the concrete crap.

I Have got 60,000km out of them to date and they've prob got 5k left in them. Awesome wet weather grip, very quiet, good life. Not an offroad tyre - but if you did any research you'd know that!!!

What ever happened to good tyre wear? – Our 2001 Discovery came with Michelin tyres and were an excellent all round tyre. I changed them at 80K for latitude cross. I will be lucky to get 50K out of them.They have been fine on all conditions and are definitely quiet on the road. I was told these were made in Poland. At about $320 each I expect more than 50K out of a tyre so I am about… Read more

to buy a different brand.I have not used the car any differently with this set to the originals. they hod air Not enough life

OK but left disappointed – Used on Pathfinder - from new the Goodyear Wranglers (allweather) needed replacing (@60,000 kms) - usage >95% road <5% other (sand mostly). I wanted a little more grip when towing trailer around my paddock - fairly steep I was slipping. L Cross (265/65R17) perform as advertised except I probably should have replaced them 5000 kms back -… Read more

currently sitting on 92,000. So they have run under by 20,000 at least.

As a reference point, I replaced the brake pads about 200 kms ago - they have lasted well for a heavy vehicle. It is a diesel - I trundle as opposed to race.

The big surprise - about 3 weeks back I found a tek screw in the front drivers tyre straight in, the head was getting worn - so it had been in a few days. When I pulled it I fully expected to have a leak - it measured 10mm. The front tyres have a bit more tread than the rears but close to the wear markers. It did not leak, and I have stopped carrying around a pump. With that much rubber left on the carcass - why not make the treads deeper??

Replacing in a few days but not with Latitude cross. Good wet / dry grip on tarmac; road noise ok to good, tracking good, sand performance did not have to deflate below 20 psi still performing well in loose sand Wear - run out of puff at least 20K too early. They are sensitive to tyre pressure. Probably better in colder zones.

look good – good on road but not a real 4x4 tyre look good but not up to aus conditions crossed simpson desert cut side wall on one tyre done about 2000k unused spare fitted lasted less than 200k these were 235x70x16 fitted on disco 2a will not buy michelin again too soft road handling good not noisy just a car tyre not a good 4x4 tyre warranty not worth anything and quite expensive better tyres around for less
