Michelin CrossClimate 3 – Features and Benefits
While the full technical details are still to come, early information points to some exciting improvements with the new Michelin CrossClimate 3 – designed to perform year-round in Britain’s unpredictable weather.
Here’s what UK drivers can expect:
Smarter grip in all conditions
The new Thermal Adaptive Tread Compound adjusts to changing road temperatures, helping your tyres stay responsive whether it’s dry, raining, or even snowing.
Better control in the wet and snow
A more refined V-shaped tread pattern helps channel water away efficiently – even as the tyre wears – improving grip on wet and snowy roads.
Shorter stopping distances in the rain
Braking on wet roads is now 4% better compared to the CrossClimate 2, giving you extra confidence in heavy downpours.
More miles per tank (or charge)
Reduced rolling resistance means better fuel economy for petrol and diesel cars, and longer driving range for electric vehicles.
Longer-lasting performance
With Michelin’s MaxTouch Construction, the CrossClimate 3 wears more evenly, offering up to 15% more mileage than its predecessor.
