Performance Analysis
Drawn from 1 tests. Updated October 28, 2026.
The Michelin Latitude Sport 3 finished fourth of seven and received a Good verdict in the 2016 Auto Bild Allrad SUV test in 255/55 R19. Its clearest strengths were very high aquaplaning resistance, good comfort and low noise. Testers also found good traction on grass and sand, giving it some ability beyond paved roads in that comparison.
Long wet braking distances were the main performance weakness, and the purchase price was criticised as expensive. The wet findings are therefore mixed: strong resistance to standing water did not mean short wet stops. This is a single test without individual discipline measurements or rankings, so it cannot establish the braking gap or a consistent pattern across sizes and years.
