Review your Michelin CrossClimate 3 Sport >

Been a user for all cross climate series, except plus, I can say this one tops them all, I could not use it for snowy or heavy wet conditions yet but for dry and wet roads performance its very near to UHP tires. Steering response is good and during hard cornering you can feel sidewalls are not giving way, stable and not losing traction. A very little rubbery feeling when moving over small bumps as if car is floating but actually feels extremely better considering previous potenza s001 stone wheels, also I choose bigger tires 255 35 r19 to 245 40 r19 another reason maybe.
Comfort is also very good especially in urban areas they are virtually silent, medium to high speed there is standart cc noise which is acceptable.
I can say very good ride quality, good dry performance "breaking and traction", not a track tire of course but again if you like switching sport, summer, winter tires, this might not tickle your fancy.
I can say good summer performance

I live in Peak District and commute daily over Snake Pass into Sheffield using PS5 in summer and XC 2 Nov / April about 60k total. R8 road for commuting in summer but a challenge in winter ,temp and snow/ ice wise, hence needing All Season. ( Nov / April). Interested in what Michelin were saying about 3 Sport being = 2 PS5 and Alpine 5. So invested in a set July 23rd. Scrubbed them in for 200 miles. Fast roaded em some 500 miles to date. Temps of 12 c to 25 c. Wet and dry, Result in my humble experience ... At fast road speed in both wet and dry they are as near as dam it the equv of PS 5s at above temps. Only a track day could possibly show a difference. I think Autum / Early Spring were I see temps, over The Snake Pass of - 2c to 10c these new 3 Sports will have the edge over PS5. I assume due to Mountain Snow Flake Snow / Ice performance will be as per XC2s , ie. More than enough in U.K. Jonathan Benson talked about more sporty and responsive. He is correct. But they seem no more noisey or uncomfortable that the CX2s. Time will tell re milage but I honestly think they are as near as PS5s in the summer as to be in real terms the same. And for a price difference of only a couple of Beers a corner lol . WHY NOT . Hope this helps those considering.

I have to be honest with this one. Been waiting for this since it got announced. Before I had a Continental ASC2 but they got used and in 22 April of 2025, I replaced the Continentals with Goodride All Season Elite Z-401 245/45/R19 102W until the CC3 Sports were available. In July I replaced the Goodride with the CC3S and mane was I disappointed. I have only drove the first 500-600 km but the initial feeling is that they are under CC2, Continental and even under the performance of the Z-401. Tested on DRY and WET but since it's July 2025 I cannot talk about Wear, Snow or Ice.

First of all:
Dry grip/braking it's a 7 for me compared to the Continentals (9)
Wet it's kind of a disaster, even the Z-401 is better.
Road feedback isn't a very important factor for me, I know these are sports so I give them a 8, because of rigidity.
Handling, I think its better than anything else I had, better then Continental, CC2, Goodride, Goodyear. Also you can steer very nice.
Comfort, I don't know what to say. It's kind of an average.

Would I buy again? Right now after the first impression, I wouldn't. After 40.000 km? Who knows? Also the 6.1mm isn't giving me high hopes for wearing, but will see in time.

Overall my first impression is that I would go for the Continental AllSeasonContact 2 or the Goodyear 4Seasons Vector gen 3. Second would be CC2 then after the CC3S. I cannot tell anything about the CC3 since it's not available in my country Romania/EU.

Overall: Disappointed by the price/performance ratio. Maybe at their end of the lifespan will get a better opinion.
