Information on the tyre:
Michelin LATITUDE CROSS is a summer premium class tyre designed for cars with 4-wheel drive. Thanks to the modern design solutions model, Latitude Cross excels not only in off-road, but also provides a comfortable ride in city conditions. The tyre was built with a Terrain Proof compound, which in its composition, resembles the compound used in the construction of industrial tyres. Properties of the material used for the production of Michelin LATITUDE CROSS makes the model abrasion resistant. Thanks to the even distribution of pressure across the tyre, the tread wears out slowly and steadily. This allows you to use the tyre throughout the model’s longevity at it’s full performance.
The asymmetric tread of two independent parts ensures good performance on both dry and wet surfaces. The wide grooves quickly channel water allowing fast tread drying and resistance to aquaplaning. All this has a positive effect on security and stability. The designers also took care of the acoustic comfort of the driver and passengers. The Silent Tread Design technology, which is based on an innovative shape of the tread blocks, definitely helps to achieve this. The curved tread block arrangement ensures that the tyre and the road make contact progressively which dampens the sound during rolling. As a result, driving on Michelin LATITUDE CROSS is a quiet and pleasant experience. The model is an ideal solution for drivers who expect reliability from their summer tyres, an excellent performance on each type of road and safety during driving.
