Questions and Answers for the Michelin Latitude Cross

2019-08-10 - some Michelin Latitude Cross tires have an extra 'DT' designation. What does that mean?

DT stands for different tread. The difference could be a slight tuning for grip or to manage a wear pattern. The tire might look different or it might be very difficult to spot the difference. There are some other similar markings such as S1.

Top 3 Michelin Latitude Cross Reviews

Given 93% while driving a Toyota Landcruiser (265/70 R16 H) on mostly country roads for 65,000 spirited miles
I'm just about to get 2 new front tires for my landcruiser after 65000 miles.. These tires 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 tire wear which is also impressive. My rear tires still have 5-6mm of tread left... The front is getting 2 new latitude cross' next week

Given 81% while driving a Fiat Panda 4 x4 (185/65 R15) on mostly country roads for 5 spirited miles
Fitted these to my Panda Cross 4x4 to improve off road use without ruining on road driving. It’s a good compromise. A bit less grippy than the full road tires fitted from factory (despite being 185, rather than the 175 they replaced). In the dry it still grips well and the handling is predictable and balanced although there’s a bit less feedback on the tarmac. In the wet it’s excellent, no discernible difference to the full on road tires. Off road it’s excellent, a big improvement on the miles of forest track, soft road and occasional full off road I need to drive. The car feels much more planted and secure in these conditions. I’ve yet to encounter snow and it’s not 3MPSF rated but the presence of a number if sipes give me confidence it will work in the occasional snow we encounter. Ride quality is an improvement, possibly helped by the slightly taller sidewall (65% of 185 plays 65% of 175) and comfort is great. No appreciable noise difference to the original road tires. Wear - we will have to see.

A really good switch that suits the car for my driving mix.

Used on Hyundai Santa Fe for 6 months. Good throughout summer and autumn. Wear well and not noisey given tread. Works extremely well on wet and very wet grass which is why I got them. No real experience on snow but I think they will be much better than summer tires.

Latest Michelin Latitude Cross Reviews

Given 90% while driving a Toyota hilux (255/60 R17) on a combination of roads for 10,000 spirited miles
I have had these Latitude Cross fitted on the rear for the past 10,000miles and on the front for the past 5,000miles. Replacing Bridgestone Dueller 'High Terrain' and also 'All Terrain' tires.

My 2019 2.4D Toyota Hilux is usually relatively loaded with tools and equipment giving the vehicle a gross weight of between 2,500kg and 3,000kg.

I predominantly use the vehicle for work travelling between different sites and working off road most days on the electricity network in rural areas. All my colleagues drive either Isuzu D-Max, Ford Rangers or Toyota Hilux's. As you can imagine, with the work that we do, we are often recovering vehicles out the mud. The majority of my colleagues favour the General Grabber which is adequate for off-road driving but really a very poor tire for driving on road, especially in the wet.

What I can in my experience of driving off-road frequently with the Michelin Latitude Cross is that I have only got stuck once which was due to driver error, a 8ton digger was require to rescue me, so it was quite stuck. However, I drive at obstacles such as steep vergers without care. I bounce up curbs at speed. I hit deep potholes without slowing down and I have pulled a stuck Uni-Mog out of a field (whilst appearing to set a smoke grenade off under the Hilux). I like this tire very much, it is strong and predictable, and provided it isn't a complete disaster in the snow I would choose to put it on again. A bonus is the extended wear and hopefully a lower environmental impact.

What would be good to see is Tire Reviews to carry out a UK based review of 'premium and popular' All-Terrain tires. Goodyear Wrangler, Continental Cross Contact, Michelin Latitude Cross, General Grabber, Cooper Discovery, Bridgestone Dueller are all very popular choices in the UK but no real impartial testing.

I had the opportunity to use the tires I have been using for 2 years on snowy, wet and off-road conditions. It is an ideal tire in terms of driving comfort, braking on different road types, and road holding.

Installed at the rear, really good tires on the road and off road! I was really impressed with the off road grip! Even at 2WD, on mud it handles really well! Buying a 2nd pair for the front in 2 weeks after a meh time with the Ovation Ecovision VI-286 A/T

Given 71% while driving a Mitsubishi Outlander (215/70 R16) on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
I have found these tires to be very predictable in both wet and dry. When pushed hard the weight of the PHEV and the high profile of the tire contribute to the car understeering in both wet and dry conditions. I find these tire quite comfortable. In winter I drive up windy mountain roads to the snow. On snow these have been the best cornering and breaking SUV tires I've ever had. I can't comment regarding ice as I have minimal time in those conditions. They are predictably noisier than a road tire but the only time it is really noticeable is when speaking hands free on the phone. I'm on my second set and will buy again if I don't go to a winter specific tire next time. I travelled about 45,000km on my last set and I'm experiencing a similar wear rate this time. Apart from enhanced grip in mud and snow I bought these tires due to the robust side walls to use on dirt roads and tracks, they have not let me down and have reduced my anxiety of tire damage when travelling in out of the way places without a spare.

Given 73% while driving a Jeep cherokee sport (245/70 R16) on mostly country roads for 12,000 spirited miles
The tires have excellent wet weather grip on hot mix up and down hills. on road / gravel road performance is good for SUV / 4x4 vehicle. With the grip available the wear isn't that good. If you are only doing 10 -15k km's per year or two, worth the money.

Given 90% while driving a Mitsubishi L200 (205/80 R16) on mostly motorways for 92,000 spirited miles
Put them on about 10 years ago as the Bridgestone Dueller wore out of excessive dryness (yes indeed) in only a few years of use and disappointed badly overall. Up until now I have thrown the book at these Michelins; off roading, trailer pulling, snow drifting, beach donuts and still going out is never limited with these. Most surprisingly is the lack of thread wear, the side wall dryness and cracking is making these tires in need of replacement sooner, especially on the front, and that is the only real negative thing I can say about these. Front lasted 6 years Rears lasting 10 years and still looking ok

I use them on fire trails and rocky roads so far so good. No punctures, good grip. On hightway speeds they are quiet and feel almost as good as the continental ecocontact5 that came from factory. I see some sipes for snow but I did not have the oppurtunity to test them on snow yet.

Given 56% while driving a Land Rover Defender (235/85 R16) on mostly country roads for 4,000 miles
Replaced the 15 Yr old budget AT tires on my 90 with these 3 years ago. Really disappointed with these Michelins. They are only an improvement in terms of tire noise (quieter). In all other respects the same as the 15yr old Power guards, apart from body roll, which is sadly increased. Expected much much more from a premium new tire.

After 400 Km (250 miles) and 2 weeks of use, I had the first puncture. It was caused by a 9mm diameter wood stick on the inside tread limit. These tires are weak and It will be hard to trust them.

Given 97% while driving a Toyota RAV4 (235/55 R18 H) on mostly country roads for 15,000 average miles
I've been very pleased with these tires which are quieter, more comfortable, better wearing and better looking than the Bridgestone Duellers which come as standard on the RAV4. Prior to the Michelin's, the car also had Pirelli Scorpian Verde and Avon ZX7's but the wear was rapid and they suffered from punctures. The Michelin's don't collect stones and debris so much and have never punctured. We use the car mainly round country roads which can be poorly maintained and slippery and occasionaly tow a horse trailer so reliablility on muddy fields is a must. Again, no problems there either. Not many tire shops stock these off the shelf but it's well worth ordering ahead to guarantee getting these tires. Great value for money.

well we run these tires for a long time now they are almost 8 year old now they are still looking decent no cracking but are surely harder. the truck was kept most of the time in a closed underground garage not too humid not to dry atmosphere and I am for the first time pleased by a michelin tire for a long time pretty great at hard packed or loose ground good on paved roads last time I used the truck on snow the tires where brand new and back then they performed very good I never use it when snowing since this truck likes to rust even at the slightest of contacts with salt. anyway I highly recommend them for any suv or light truck the only big downside is their price at least in my size 205/80/16 really michelin? 105€per tire?
