Built from every independent test result and vetted owner review we hold for this tire - the evidence is all further down the page. Data updated January 2025.
The Michelin Latitude Sport was the only N rated tire 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 tires are for those who want to get the most out of dynamic driving.

The tire 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 I just don't consider to buy again because they are outdated.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, tires 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 tires, continental or the like, if I’m above 120k miles the car will be changed at 150k so I have purchased budget tires 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 tires 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 Tire on the market but it’s the old saying, buy cheap, buy twice.
I do document all my spend on cars, petrol, tires... and to back that up, over the last 6 years and 3 cars the cost per mile just on tires 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 tires 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.
Fitted as standard so not able to compare with others. Seems like a typical all round competent michelin tire 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 tires have worn - but volvo steering is usually a bit vague anyway.
Would buy again but looking at others.
Worst tire 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 tires designed and manufactured for the porsche cayenne.
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 tires 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.
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 tire pressure on Rear Axles wheels improves handling alot.
Wear after 15000 Miles is incredibly low-
