Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tyres

Available in the mytyres.co.uk online shop for rim sizes from 17 to 21 inches, the Michelin Latitude Sport 3 is a summer tyre designed to be fitted to high-performance SUVs. Its braking distance is an impressive (and potentially life-saving) 2.7m shorter than that of its predecessor, the Michelin Latitude Sport. Manufacturer Michelin has adapted this tyre to the meet the requirements of modern all-terrain vehicles and the demands of their drivers with regards to driving comfort. Responsible for the latter is the elastomer-containing silica tread compound, which works together with sipes in varying widths to ensure a low rolling resistance and minimal noise and fuel consumption.

The effectiveness of these features has been tested and confirmed by specialist publications such as the German "Auto Motor Sport", which also attested to the Latitude Sport 3's excellent driving characteristics on dry roads. The continuous central rib works with other tread components to exert a positive influence on the wet road performance of the Michelin Latitude Sport 3, leading German publication "Auto Straßenverkehr" to praise its good anti-hydroplaning performance in a 2008 test. In order for these positive characteristics to be maintained as long as possible, the tyre also features a two-layer protective carcass.
