MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 Sport

Believe the hype ? I do know.

CONTEXT. Have experience of PS5 , X Climate 2. About 60 k miles worth in Audi S3 8P, ( Stage 2 ) . I live in Peak District and commute daily over Snake Pass into Sheffield. R8 road for commuting in summer and a challenge in winter temp and snow 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 120 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 Xac 2s , ie. More than enough in U.K. Jonathan Benson talked about more directional 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.

Amazing tyre for the UK

The CrossClimate 3 Sport works really well on the frequently rainy UK roads offering excellent grip compared to off-brand summer tyres. It is also quite comfortable and is fairly quiet, something which I was initially worried about. Lastly the sidewall is beautiful especially with the snowflakes and deep black.

Excellent all rounder

So far another good tyre by Michelin, currently have CC 2's on the front, and the CC 3's now on rear of a AWD Tiguan. I've been buying Pilot Sport tyres for years on hot hatches but due to change in vehicle type and use I oped for a good all rounder tyre that so far has handled off road rough terrain and mud with no issues; hopefully to be good in snow also.

Much quieter, smoother ride and confidence when during in wet conditions

Only had dry weather since putting them on so can't comment on other weather. Good in dry though
