Given 85% while driving a Lexus RX300 (215/70 R16) on mostly town for 500 average miles
Decided to go for these tyres after reading reviews on this site. I'm very glad that I did. The wet weather grip is amazing compared to the terrifying Bridestone duellers previously fitted. We recently had some light snow and they coped with the snow and ice very well, but I admit it was not deep. I did find a patch of ground that was a mixture of 6" deep mud, water, snow and ice. I drove into it (just out of interest) and stopped in the middle. The car drove straight back out with no problem. I'm sure they will cope with heavier snow too. I realise that they are not the cheapest 4X4 tyres,but you get what you pay for, and I prefer safety over costs. Great tyres, thanks for the advice guys.

very good tires.i have had them on my Toyota Land Cruiser 120 for 80.000kms, very grippy tires in the summer, pretty good in winter conditions (like most allseason tires not very good on black ice, and ice), the do also do good in the wet, lasted me 80.000kms, and i have an agressive driving. Off-road, they are also good, better than the previous michelin cross terains, i did some pretty hard offroad in verry muddy conditions, and I never got stuck (the only problem is that the sidewals doesnt bite in mud, so you go backwards forwards, but ich find yourself on some tracks it is pretty hard to break loose). Also on snow they are verry good. The only times that I wasn't very happy with them were on icy roads.

Had a lot of snow and ice so far this winter and the colder months are yet to come - I was already impressed with these tyres through a very wet spring and had intended to wait until after winter to add another review about them but I have been both surprised (good) and disappointed at the same time. Firstly, the bad - a small very low speed (about 10kmh) slide on icy paving saw my car gently come to rest against the concrete gutter. It was such a gentle collision I simply drove away but on inspecting the tyre an hour later, the sidewall had two fractures. I drove back to the site to inspect the gutter and where my tyre had hit was a seam where sections of concrete joined. This concrete seam had caused the rip in the sidewall. I was deflated even if my tyre was not - an expensive near new tyre rendered worthless by an innocuous piece of concrete kerbing. Now the good - These tyres are MUCH better than my previous dedicated winter tyres, wet roads, dry, slush, snow and ice. The biggest surprise so far is how good they are STOPPING on icy roads (yeah okay, even without the help of concrete guttering!). Seriously, you feel them biting into the road to help stopping making my ABS work overtime. Overall, I love these tyres but not impressed by the sidewall strength (and mine are the XL version, supposed stronger sidewalls for extra load).

Very good for dry & wet and a LOT better than expected on mud. Is somewhat sensitive on the sides for tears. Still going strong half way through 3rd year and 56000kms

Bought to replace OEM Bridgestone Duellers. The Bridgestone is an horrific tyre, way too hard and noisy.

The Michelin is much quieter, grips better in all conditions. Look chunky too!

2 more being fitted this week.

This is my second review after 6 years and 52000 kms. The tire after the fourth year and nearly 40000 kms became hard, lost a lot of the grip in the wet and the dry and became slightly uncomfortable. Twice it slided too easily on wet tarmac. So in the long run many of its good properties were lost. Oddly enough it is still good enough on dirt roads. But not on tarmac. My original review was on June 14, 2013

Amazing tires, so much better than Latitude Tour except on confort, they are a bit harder. But they are so good on everything else, and the manage dirt quite well.

On a Opel Frontera B 2.2 DTi (not the sport version) is amazing the security this tire gives on wet road. Allready had Bridgstone and Runway tires (this last one was absolutely horrendous on wet road). This Michelin Latitude Cross makes me think im on a sedan. Like i said, they are very good on wett road.

50,000k and small flakes of rubber are missing. I think I can get another 10,000k+ out of them (I will try at least). The tire sales place where I bought them said after 50k they won't stand behind them. My friend has the same 3.0L Diesel 4x4 as me and got about 60,000+ on his set. He puts on more miles than me and bought his after me. They are about $200USD per tire if I remember correctly. He started having inflation problems and they would not patch them saying they were too old and he needed new ones. He is switching back to Bridgestone OEM tires. I hated the squealing of those tires on the hot pavement. The Michelins are just starting to squeal on mountainous roads on hot days, but not even close to the Bridgestone. I am not sure what I will buy next.

Given 93% while driving a Toyota Landcruiser (265/70 R16 H) on mostly country roads for 65,000 spirited miles
I'm just about to get 2 new front tyres for my landcruiser after 65000 miles.. These tyres are a superb compromise. Excellent on the road, wet or dry. Excellent in standing water. Quite impressive off the road too. Combine Toyotas 4 wheel drive system with these, and I reckon you'd go almost anywhere another vehicle with A/Ts would go. Add to that the tyre wear which is also impressive. My rear tyres still have 5-6mm of tread left... The front is getting 2 new latitude cross' next week
