Latest Tyre Test Results

2013 Auto Review Sports SUV Summer Test - 3rd of 11 tyres

  • Overall - The Michelin Latitude Sport was the only N rated tyre on test, meaning it is approved by Porsche for OE fitment on the Cayenne in the test. In the dry the handling is excellent, with quick steering and good traction. Handling in the wet is a little behind the top two, but good aquaplaning results keep the wet score high. Moderate comfort, these tyres are for those who want to get the most out of dynamic driving.

    Questions and Answers for the Michelin Latitude Sport

    2016-05-25 - What is the average mileage you can expect out of a new set of new Michelin Sport tyres ? I drive a Peugeot 3008 which has done 24000 mls and I have been told that the tyres should now be replaced. Should I be getting more miles from this brand of tyre or is what you would expect ?

    Tyre wear is very driving style and load dependant, but 24,000 miles sounds about right for the Latitude Sport on your vehicle, if not a little on the low side.

    Very good tyres, but come on Michelin only 8mm tread depth at new.

    The tyre were already fitted when I bought the car. The performed ok until the end. With the tread down to legal limit they maintain a very good wet grip. I just don't consider to buy again because they are outdated. Not tested offroad. Only did 6000ml with them but they did many more. I just don't know the number.

    I rack up 35-40,000 miles a year, tyres are a high yearly cost and the reason I write this review is because I have been so impressed with this set of Michelin’s I normally get premium tyres, continental or the like, if I’m above 120k miles the car will be changed at 150k so I have purchased budget tyres towards the end of its life. £150-175 a corner for premium is average over the years, continental have always been good but I could buy 2 in a year or 25k on the fronts (on Audi TTS and BMW M3 it’s as low as 15k) These Mitchlins we’re just shy of breaking the 70k mark and they were not down to the indicator, it’s just autumn has arrived and for the millage I do new tyres are safer in the wet. Which comes onto the next point, Mitchlin did adverts on tv a few years ago about wet braking, I never thought much of it but I can honestly say not once did they aqua plane, braking on the motorway at speed in the wet is like stopping in the dry... I have just replaced all 4 with Michelin’s again at £840, more then any other Tyre on the market but it’s the old saying, buy cheap, buy twice. I do document all my spend on cars, petrol, tyres... and to back that up, over the last 6 years and 3 cars the cost per mile just on tyres is 0.006 for most, 0.007 on BMW M3, 0.004 for this set of Michelin does not sound a lot but it adds up to 27% saving.

    Probably one of the most expensive tyres you can buy for a Honda HRV, the performance is good but I didn't expect to change them at 15,000 miles and they have gone extremely noisy, I was a michelin fan but not anymore I don't mind the price but would of expected another 7/8,000 miles more out of them.

    I bought a new Honda CRV in June 2015. Wow, I have done in excess of 35,000 miles on this original set of Michelins. Combination of Motorway and A roads driving, work, leisure and towing. Very impressed with Michelins. 3/4 mm left. Highly recommended.

    Given 67% while driving a Volvo XC60 (235/65 R17 V) on a combination of roads for 28,000 easy going miles
    Fitted as standard so not able to compare with others. Seems like a typical all round competent michelin tyre with no great vices. I drive fairly easily so they have lasted well - front down to 2.5mm at 28k miles - rear 5mm. Car does not feel really sharp - and this has got worse as tyres have worn - but volvo steering is usually a bit vague anyway.
    Would buy again but looking at others.

    Worst tyre I've ever bought. Worn out after 6 months and 7000 miles. Michelin just say it's because the car is heavy but they are NO tyres designed and manufactured for the porsche cayenne.

    Given 61% while driving a Audi Q5 (255/45 R20 W) on mostly motorways for 11,000 average miles
    Fitted on the SQ5 from new, grip wet or dry has been pretty good, and lots of feedback if pushed hard.

    The SQ5 is pushing 308bhp/650Nm through all 4 wheels and the tyres are 3/4 worn at 11000 miles which isn't the longevity normally associated with Michelin. Through the Q5 forums it seems those SQ5s that came with Goodyear Excellence and Efficientgrip rubber have got near 20,000 miles so that's what I'll fit next.

    Given 80% while driving a BMW X3 3.0dA (235/50 R18 V) on mostly motorways for 15,000 average miles
    Fitted to BMW X3 3.0 Diesel and great for long and fast Autobahn drives.
    Cornerering is not as good Dunlop SP1 fitted before.
    Increasing tyre pressure on Rear Axles wheels improves handling alot.
    Wear after 15000 Miles is incredibly low-
