Owners most often praise the Michelin Latitude Cross for traction on tracks, grass and loose surfaces, alongside reassuring wet-road grip. Many also find it reasonably quiet for mixed road and off-road use, with positive dry grip and comfort reports. Mid-life and end-of-life accounts frequently describe long tread life, although harder off-road use can shorten it. Around one in nine complain about noise, while damage resistance draws mixed experiences rather than a clear consensus. Some longer-term reports describe declining road grip, but repeat reviews do not establish a consistent ageing pattern.

This is my second review after 6 years and 52000 kms. The tire after the fourth year and nearly 40000 kms became hard, lost a lot of the grip in the wet and the dry and became slightly uncomfortable. Twice it slided too easily on wet tarmac. So in the long run many of its good properties were lost. Oddly enough it is still good enough on dirt roads. But not on tarmac. My original review was on June 14, 2013

Amazing tires, so much better than Latitude Tour except on confort, they are a bit harder. But they are so good on everything else, and the manage dirt quite well.

Very nice tyres. AfVerya year with 30000km, still have good wet and dry grid. I believe will last another 30000km before i get another set of the sames.
On a Opel Frontera B 2.2 DTi (not the sport version) is amazing the security this tire gives on wet road. Allready had Bridgstone and Runway tires (this last one was absolutely horrendous on wet road). This Michelin Latitude Cross makes me think im on a sedan. Like i said, they are very good on wett road.
50,000k and small flakes of rubber are missing. I think I can get another 10,000k+ out of them (I will try at least). The tire sales place where I bought them said after 50k they won't stand behind them. My friend has the same 3.0L Diesel 4x4 as me and got about 60,000+ on his set. He puts on more miles than me and bought his after me. They are about $200USD per tire if I remember correctly. He started having inflation problems and they would not patch them saying they were too old and he needed new ones. He is switching back to Bridgestone OEM tires. I hated the squealing of those tires on the hot pavement. The Michelins are just starting to squeal on mountainous roads on hot days, but not even close to the Bridgestone. I am not sure what I will buy next.
I'm just about to get 2 new front tyres for my landcruiser after 65000 miles.. These tyres are a superb compromise. Excellent on the road, wet or dry. Excellent in standing water. Quite impressive off the road too. Combine Toyotas 4 wheel drive system with these, and I reckon you'd go almost anywhere another vehicle with A/Ts would go. Add to that the tyre wear which is also impressive. My rear tyres still have 5-6mm of tread left... The front is getting 2 new latitude cross' next week
Good tyre especially for light off road, gravel, sand and a little mud (but not too much). It is almost impossible to aquaplan and the wet grip is excellent (for an SUV). Very good wear. The cons are that it is noisy on motorways and consumption is 3-5% higher at 75 mph and almost 10% at 95-100 mph (compared to Michelin Synchrone). The dry grip could be better. Tyres are slightly taller than the old ones.
Used them for two years now with ever increasing confidence on a Jeep Grand Cherokee for which they have turned out to be the perfect tyre in my opinion. Effortless performance in snow, wet and relatively quiet on tarmac. They surprised many cynics on soft muddy ground and pulled us up really sharp rocky tracks in the Scottish Highlands with no apparent damage to tread or walls. Wear on a really heavy 4x4 has been excellent and I would purchase them again without doubt. Haven't tried them on sand yet but by all accounts the slightly aggressive side wall tread would be ideal for the job. Excellent product.
Have had these 3 months. Replaced Bridgestone Duelers. By impressed with the tyres. Driven them on all sorts of surfaces, even pulling 2.5 tons up a loose gravel incline, and they have performed very well. Great wet road grip, much better than the Duelers, and they displace standing water with ease, no pulling to the side at all. Wearing well so far on what is a heavy truck that works hard for a living. Highly recommended
Replaced factory Toyo Tranpath M+S, this is a MUCH better tire.
Its strongest points appear to be:
- amazing treadwear (at 37K miles I seem to be only half way through them!!!)
- very good all round climbing ability on dirt roads, gravel, snow
- extremely resilient to damage from sharp rocks, gravel, cement driveways
- good grip on both wet and dry tarmac (the RAV4 weighs a ton and a half!)
Its weakest points seem to be:
- slightly noisier than most tires
- slightly increased fuel consumption
Overall this tire has been as useful as a Swiss Army knife for me, I would happily buy them again (I'll also be considering the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Seasons). I suspect that the Michelin Latitude Cross is among the lowest cost-per-mile tires out there, due to its incredible resilience to wear and damage.
