Michelin Latitude Tour HP Tire Review

By Tires Reviewed

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire review is a comprehensive exploration of a high-performing tire designed for premium crossover vehicles. The tire offers a blend of all-season capabilities and performance attributes, aiming to provide confident handling, a comfortable driving experience, exceptional stability at high speeds, and impressive fuel efficiency. The review covers features, performance in various conditions, and its contribution to Michelin’s Total Performance philosophy. It also discusses warranty coverage and real-world user opinions.

Tire Technology and Features

2-d active sipes.

Michelin’s Latitude Tour HP tire improves traction in the snow and rain thanks to its 2-D Active Sipes technology. These sipes are crucial because they interlock to increase rigidity, which aids in the management of rain and snow. These dynamic sipes lock together when the tire contacts wet or snowy surfaces, increasing the tire’s stability and grip and, in turn, its responsiveness and safety in adverse weather.

FAZ Technology™

The Latitude Tour HP has Michelin’s exclusive FAZ Technology TM , which contributes significantly to the tire’s ability to inspire trust and steadiness at high speeds. This technology allows for a steady and regulated ride at high speeds by selectively putting polyester and aramid/nylon filaments under the tread of the tire. In particular, aramid, best known for its application in bulletproof vests, enhances the tire’s stability and grip to provide a responsive and secure driving experience.

Specific Tire Shape And Tread Compounds

Michelin makes great effort in developing the geometry and composition of the Latitude Tour HP’s tread to guarantee low rolling resistance and low fuel consumption. This unique tire form and improved tread materials eliminate excessive friction during rolling, therefore boosting fuel efficiency and minimizing hazardous emissions. These technologies align with Michelin’s commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility while offering drivers a cost-effective solution at the pump.

M+S Rated Tire

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP has the all-season M+S (mud and snow) rating. With this rating, you may feel comfortable driving in a wide range of weather, from light snow to muddy terrain. The M+S rating demonstrates the tire’s adaptability and dependability in various weather conditions, from driving on a wet highway to traversing light snow.

Performance in Different Conditions

Dry road performance.

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP excels on dry roads. The tire’s symmetrical tread design, continuous center rib, and reinforced shoulders provide precision steering and directional stability. A steady and balanced feel allows confidence in handling and control on highways and twisting routes. With improved siping and unique compounds, the Latitude Tour HP provides excellent dry traction and braking, making it a top choice for snappy, aggressive driving in favorable weather.

Wet Road Performance

The Latitude Tour HP’s 2-D Active Sipes and improved tread design improve wet road performance. By locking together for rigidity, these sipes improve wet traction and grip, decreasing hydroplaning and improving rain handling. On wet roads, the tire has slightly less grip but a good steering feel in dry conditions. It balances the front and rear tires, ensuring stability and control, but it may take more work to restore control in some conditions. Wet performance is good due to modern technology and tire structure.

Winter Road Performance

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP performs well in mild and icy snow and ice without 3-Peak Mountain Snowflake certification. Interlocking sipes and multi-directional biters in the tread design provide excellent ice and snow grip. Biters grip snow particles and interlock for better grip than snow-to-rubber contact. These qualities make winter driving confident. However, this tire is not for extreme weather conditions. It’s ideal for light snow and occasional winter driving due to its all-season adaptability and winter characteristics.

Off-Road Performance

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP, developed for luxury crossovers, isn’t off-road. It has excellent on-road performance and a quiet, pleasant ride but lacks robust equipment for off-roading. The low-profile tire’s sidewalls aren’t designed for off-roading due to its highway stability and ride comfort. For off-road activities, the Latitude Tour HP is not the best choice. Specialized off-road tires are recommended.

Noise Levels and Ride Comfort

Due to superior tire technology, the Latitude Tour HP rides quietly and comfortably. Due to its tread composition, the “HP” type may make some noise, although variable-pitch tread design generates a range of sound frequencies to reduce this. The tire’s strong nylon cap ply stabilizes cornering but doesn’t absorb bumps or dampen vibrations, hurting ride smoothness. However, its excellent steering responsiveness, precise handling, and pleasant road performance make driving enjoyable.

Fuel Efficiency

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP is eco-friendly due to its fuel efficiency. Advanced technology minimizes rolling resistance in the tire. Lower rolling resistance reduces tire rolling effort, improving fuel efficiency. This tire form and tread compound reduce friction when driving, lowering CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. Saving money at the pump without sacrificing tire performance makes the Latitude Tour HP a good choice for eco-conscious drivers who want a pleasant, high-performance ride.

Tread Longevity

Michelin Latitude Tour HP tread life is exceptional. The tire’s silica-based tread compound and construction reduce rolling resistance, improving fuel efficiency and wear life. Fuel efficiency and low rolling resistance give this tire an extended tread life. Michelin’s advanced construction properly distributes contact forces across the tire, balancing wear and extending life. Treadwear may vary depending on driving habits and road conditions, but the Latitude Tour HP is known for its longevity and performance.

Warranty Coverage

Michelin Latitude Tour HP tires come with various guarantees, including a 60-day money-back guarantee if you’re not happy with them. These tires come with a variety of treadwear limited warranties from the manufacturer, each of which covers a different number of miles and speeds. Manufacturer’s treadwear limited warranties vary by tire rating, with the highest covering 55,000 miles for V and H tires, the lowest covering 45,000 for W tires, and the lowest covering 30,000 for H tires.

In addition, Michelin offers a Standard Limited Warranty on all of their tires, including the Latitude Tour HP, which protects against manufacturing flaws for the duration of the tread’s original service life or up to six years from the date of purchase.

Compared With Other Tires

Bridgestone alenza as ultra vs. michelin latitude tour hp.

When comparing the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra to the Michelin Latitude Tour HP, it is clear that the former offers superior performance in a variety of respects. Drivers looking for all-season premium touring tires will find the Alenza AS Ultra to be an attractive option thanks to its superior performance, dry and wet grip, snow and ice handling, comfort, and great tread life. In contrast, the Bridgestone Alenza AS Ultra is the more reliable and well-rounded alternative for SUV and 4×4 owners seeking improved performance and longevity, while the Michelin Latitude Tour HP shines in dry traction but falls short in many critical characteristics.

When comparing the Michelin Latitude Tour HP Tire to the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season, it’s clear that both tires excel in all weather conditions and provide a quiet, comfortable ride. Those who value durability may consider the Latitude Tour HP due to its superior dry and wet traction and extended tread life. However, the Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season is notable for being eco-friendly because of its low rolling resistance, which improves gas mileage. Its sportier handling makes it a popular choice. Those concerned with environmental impact may prefer the Pirelli, while those who place a premium on durability and dependability may go with the Michelin Latitude Tour HP.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP Tire vs. Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady

When comparing the Michelin Latitude Tour HP Tire to the Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady, it’s clear that both tires are capable of handling a wide range of weather and road conditions. Goodyear Assurance WeatherReady tires have outstanding traction on snow and ice, while the Michelin Latitude Tour HP performs admirably in dry and wet situations. However, the Michelin Latitude Tour HP Tire is the go-to option for individuals in search of a tire that will last for a very long time.

After replacing my Continental 255/45 r20 105V tires with the Mich Lat 245/60 105v ones on my 2022 Santa Fe Calligraphy, I was expecting a smoother ride. Unfortunately that wasn’t the case; even after having them balanced five times – including one Road Force balance- and driving at 70mph, there’s still road feel as well as excessive noise present in this experience.

With only 400 miles on its odometer, it shouldn’t be causing these issues! After 2500 miles of ownership underwhelming performance from Michelin tires – which have been an integral part of all cars owned since 1965 by me- has left me unhappy. Disappointingly enough despite taking several measures to improve smoothness such proved fruitless for my 2025 Sante Fe Calllgraphy journey !

The Michelon 245 / 60R105 V ,newly installed seemed less than satisfactory : upon reaching high speeds(70 mph) noisy roads were experienced instead alongwith surprises jolts . This is especially unexpected due to mere 400 Miles clocked so far & long term loyalty towards quality Michellin tyres since decades now

If you own an SUV, Michelin X could be the perfect tire choice for a smooth and comfortable ride. Despite being pricey, this selection will make your GMC drive as if it was brand new!

Since I got it new, my vehicle has run an impressive 92,000 miles. Rotating and replacing the tires every 10k at a price of $40K hasn’t stopped me from enjoying this ride – that is until winter season came! Despite all those details though; if given the chance again to have this car -I would buy it in a heartbeat!

I’m impressed by my second set of tires, which I believe are superior to other sets I’ve had on different vehicles. If the situation arises where a tire replacement is needed, these would be my go-to choice!

Wayne Bowers

An adventurous drive awaits me each time I take the winding dirt road up the mountain, just one mile from my home. My 4wd has performed to expectations and withstood all terrain – it transported me safely on a trip to Missouri last October! Impressed by its durability, even my neighbor purchased these tires for his large SUV.

After upgrading my ride with Michelin Latitude tires, I’m thrilled to report that the experience is ultra-smooth. My passengers have also felt a newfound sense of security touring on these superior tires – an upgrade from their previous versions!

I decided to replace the 38K mile-old tires on my vehicle before winter arrived and I’m so glad that I did! Thanks to these new all season tires, we’ve been able to handle any snow with ease. Plus, combined with AWD, they can last for well over 70 thousand miles – now that’s what you call reliable performance in every kind of weather.

With these tires I was prepared for whatever winter had to offer. Though the plows were not readily available, I could trust my new set of wheels to get me through any slippery situation!

The traction in rain and snow plus their capability on ice made them a great choice – they make sure every ride is both smooth and safe. Not only that, but even riding over rough terrain doesn’t rattle me or anyone else thanks to how quiet they are!

Based on my positive experience with this purchase so far – including its convenience at just the right time – I have no hesitation recommending it others who might be seeking out reliable tire options.

Van Aguilar

I was so impressed with the performance of my factory latitude tour tires – they lasted an incredible 86000+ miles! It’s no surprise I decided to stick with this model for its dependability and impressive results.

Keep reading to see why we ranked the Latitude Tour HP tire as a fair option for those who want a middle-of-the-road tire without spending a fortune. Although it only receives a 3.5 out of 5 stars on Tire Rack out of 586 reviews, this is a good choice for those who do not need to go off-roading, speed racing, or require top-of-the-line performance.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP – Overview

The Latitude Tour HP tire is for crossover and SUV touring for passenger vehicles during the entire year. This tire is meant for all-season use, but it shines during wet performance, dry performance, comfort, and treadwear.

This tire does not perform well in terms of winter and snow performance, so it might not be the best choice for year-round use if you live in a wintry or snowy climate.

Performance

According to user reviews on Tire Rack, this tire earned a 7.9 out of 10 in the wet performance category, earning a 7.8 for hydroplaning resistance and an 8.0 for wet traction. These features are good because they show how it can hold its own and stay stable on the road during rainy and wet conditions.

Furthermore, the tire earned an 8.4 out of 10 for dry performance, 8.2 for cornering stability, 98.8 for dry traction, and 8.3 for steering response. This feature is good for drivers, as it enhances driver confidence and user-friendliness in the steering.

However, the Tyre Reviews test, which compared 2017 SUV summer tires placed the Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire in last place, earning 11th out of 11 tires. The tire scored very low in terms of cost and comfort and earned favorable rankings in terms of wet performance.

The Michelin Latitude Tour tire earned an 8.3 for steering response and 8.2 for corgi stability, showing how users can rely on the handling and responsiveness when making tight turns and driving during inclement weather.

Furthermore, users have given this tire a 4 out of 5 stars in terms of handling, citing how this tire ‘delivers all-weather traction’. Lastly, user reviews on Mavis Tire gave this tire an 8.9 for steering responsiveness, 8.8 for cornering stability, and 8.5 for hydroplaning resistance.

All of these are beneficial features for those who drive on windy roads or in dark conditions, improving the driver’s confidence in the tire.

Noise and comfort

According to the 2017 SUV summer tire test, the Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire only earned a 5.8 for the noise and 11 for wear, showing how the noise within the cabin can dissuade users from purchasing this tire. User reviews on Mavis Tire gave this tire an 8.7 for noise level and 8.9 for ride comfort, showing how this tire can hold its own after driving.

Although the tire scored poorly in almost every other category, the Michelin Latitude Tour HP category scored highly in the tests in terms of treadwear, showing how this tire is durable and long-lasting over many seasons. Furthermore, this tire leads to low fuel consumption, making it a smart choice for those who are eco-friendly or money-conscious.

The price of the Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire depends on the type of vehicle you need and the specific type of tire tread you’re looking for. The price ranges from $115 on the low end of the 16” tire to $240 on the high-end for the 21” tire. The average price of the Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire is approximately between $140 and $170 for the 18” tires.

The average price of all-season SUV and 4×4 tires comes to between $80 and $150, with SUV cars typically needing a higher-end tire of between $100 and $250. Based on this pricing, the cost of the Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire is fair for the category.

Recommendations & Conclusions

Recommendations.

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire is a good choice for those who want a high-ranking tire in terms of dry handling, wet handling, and performance. Although the price gets some mixed feedback based on the durability of the tire, and the tire is not suitable for winter use, the tire can handle the shoulder season and summer weather with ease. The Michelin Latitude Tour HP tire provides ample handling, traction, and reliable performance in dry and summer conditions.

Regarding user reviews on Mavis Tire, 1010tires, and Tire Rack, we found that this tire ranked highly in handling, wet braking, dry braking, performance, responsiveness, and comfort across the board. Other options that ranked higher in the performance tests included the Continental Premium Contact 5, Goodyear EfficientGrip SUV, Falken ZE914, Hankook Ventus Prime 3 K125, and the Nokian Line SUV.

Although this tire earned high marks for user reviews in handling and performance, other tires consistently outperformed this option in the performance tests conducted.

Therefore, if you’re looking for a reputable tire in terms of user reviews and professional opinion, we recommend choosing another all-season SUV tire that can last the summer and winter months.

The rise of the popularity of crossovers and SUVs didn’t happen because of the off-road abilities of these vehicles. Instead, buyers were lured by the roomy interiors and adventurous looks on the outside. Also, most crossover and SUV owners never venture outside of the road.

This necessitated tire manufacturers to produce rubber for crossovers and SUVs that are designed only for on-road use. Crossover/SUV touring tires are one of the best-selling tires on the market right now, and every serious tire company has a competitor in the segment.

Of course, that includes Michelin, a company that’s known for producing high-quality premium tires that often push the envelope. Michelin’s crossover and SUV touring tire, called the Latitude Tour, is now one of the oldest in its category.

Despite that, we learned by now that Michelin knows how to make products that are ahead of its time. Many tires from the French company still compete for best-in-class honors, even though they were launched over five years ago.

That said, the Michelin Latitude Tour faces stiff competition from outstanding tires, such as the Continental CrossContact LX25 , Pirelli Scorpion Verde All Season Plus II, and Bridgestone Dueler H/L Alenza Plus .

And, perhaps more tellingly, all of these premium competitors are much less expensive than the Latitude Tour. As a matter of fact, the Latitude Tour is the priciest tire in its category, even when compared to newer premium rivals. So, is Michelin’s product worth the extra cost?

You’ve arrived just in the right place to have that question answered. In this article, I’ll cover every detail about the Michelin Latitude Tour, including the performance it offers on dry, wet, and snowy roads, the comfort levels, and treadlife.

Before we jump to any conclusions, though, let’s see what Michelin has to say about the features of the Latitude Tour.

What are the features of the Michelin Latitude Tour?

According to Michelin, the Latitude Tour is a crossover/SUV touring tire designed for a quiet ride, outstanding fuel efficiency, long treadlife, and impressive on-road comfort and handling. To be honest, though, you will read almost the same things on the websites on other manufacturers, even those that produce cheaper alternatives.

Michelin continues to praise the wet traction of the tire – the Latitude Tour stops 5% shorter in rainy conditions than the predecessor. That’s not a lot but bear in mind that the French company almost always provides the best results in wet conditions.

To achieve these things, Michelin utilized its tried-and-true Total Performance technology. The French company claims that it focuses on the entire life of the tire. “All our tires have performance made to LAST, delivering, by design, an exceptional level of long-lasting performance,” the company states on its website.

Moreover, the Michelin Total Performance technology means that the engineers try to improve things in one area, without sacrificing performance in other areas.

Like in most premium tires, Michelin utilized a silica-based tread compound. The rubber is molded into a symmetric tread pattern, and both the tread compound and design are optimized for longevity and durability. Michelin calls that MaxTouch Construction, and what it means is that the tire should perform well throughout its entire lifetime.

The tread pattern itself consists of stable shoulder blocks and a continuous center rib for increased responsiveness and highway stability. Furthermore, the Latitude Tour features four wide circumferential grooves, which channel water through multiple sipes in the outboard shoulders for increased hydroplaning resistance. The sipes also help to create more biting edges for better snow traction.

Meanwhile, the Michelin Comfort Control Technology ensures that the tire provides the passengers with a comfortable and quiet traveling experience. More accurately, the technology features a computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing to reduce the vibrations entering the cabin, and mitigate road noise.

Some Latitude Tour models and sizes also come with the Green X symbol, which signifies green manufacturing techniques and increased low-rolling resistance.

On the inside, the Latitude Tour is pretty standard for a crossover/SUV touring tire. It features twin steel belts under the tread area, on top of a polyester cord casing, both working to enhance stability and ride quality.

What are the maintenance indicators?

The Latitude Tour features the regular tread wear indicators (TWI’s) like any other Michelin tire, or any other crossover/SUV touring tire for that matter. That said, some companies, like Continental, started using letters for an even better indication of treadwear.

The TWI’s are very important for the owner because they show how much tread there is left on the tire. Without sufficient tread, the tire won’t be able to resist hydroplaning well, and overall, the wet performance will suffer significantly.

On the Michelin Latitude Tour, the minimum tread depth is 2/32-inch. When the tire comes to this point, you should immediately replace it with a new one. Otherwise, you risk driving on tires that aren’t able to provide you with safe traction and braking on wet surfaces.

The treadwear indicators are narrow rubber inserts built into the circumferential grooves of the tire. As the tread of the tire wears down, these narrow rubber bars will become more visible. When the tread is only 2/32-inch deep, the bars will be completely flush with the tread.

And, while it’s recommended to replace the tire after it reaches that point, I suggest doing that earlier, especially if you want to retain snow traction and braking.

Fortunately, the Michelin Latitude Tour won’t wear down very fast. Owners report good treadlife, and Michelin covers those claims with a 65,000-mile treadwear warranty on all sizes.

That said, the Latitude Tour is also the most expensive tire in its category. And, for the price, you can get even better treadlife in the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza Plus (an 80,000-mile treadwear warranty), and Continental CrossContact LX25 (a 70,000-mile treadwear warranty).

How does it behave on a dry tarmac?

Overall, the Latitude Tour performs very well on dry roads. The tire feels responsive enough for accurate positioning of your vehicle in the corners. Also, the directional stability is top-notch, even at highway speeds.

In terms of grip levels, the Michelin Latitude Tour is in the upper echelon of the class. If you want it more honestly, the cornering grip is very good, but I expected more for the price. It’s the same with traction and braking, which are fine, but far from exceptional.

These are things that you probably won’t be able to test on public roads. The differences between the best tires and the Latitude Tour are nearly imperceptible in daily driving.

How is it over wet and slippery roads?

The Latitude Tour is one of the better touring tires for driving on rainy days. The hydroplaning resistance of the tire is top-notch, and the traction levels are excellent.

Moreover, the tire achieves some of the shortest braking distances in the category, both in light and heavy rain. And, thanks to the Total Performance package, the Latitude Tour retains the safe traction after it wears down.

With that being said, how is it on snowy roads?

Michelin employed zig-zag sipes on the inner and outer tread blocks of the tire, which in theory should give the Latitude Tour excellent snow traction.

However, in the real world, the tire is far from usable in those conditions. You can get some traction on snow, but other premium competitors fare much better. It’s the same with braking – the distances are longer than the best in the category.

Is it suitable for off-road driving?

The Latitude Tour is a touring tire, which means that it’s designed mostly for driving on paved roads. Sure, you can utilize the tire over hardpacked surfaces, but don’t expect high levels of grip. Moreover, the Latitude Tour doesn’t have a tough casing that will protect it from cuts and punctures.

Is it comfortable and refined?

Not that we expected anything less from a Michelin product, but the Latitude Tour is supremely quiet and comfortable. The ride quality is particularly impressive – the tire easily works out smaller and larger imperfections on the road. Also, road noise is minimal, even at highway speeds.

Should I buy the Michelin Latitude Tour?

The Michelin Latitude Tour is an excellent touring tire for owners of crossovers and SUVs. Overall, it provides the driver with safe traction on dry and wet surfaces, good treadlife, and outstanding comfort.

However, the price of the Latitude Tour is exceptionally high, even when compared to other premium tires. And, it’s here that the tire loses against its stiff competition.

For example, the Bridgestone Dueler Alenza Plus and Continental CrossContact LX25 beat the Michelin Latitude Tour in many categories, while also having higher treadwear warranties. And, they are cheaper, too.

For those reasons, I would recommend the Michelin Latitude Tour only if you get a good deal. Otherwise, you can save over $100 on some sizes if you opt for products from the main competitors.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP Review for 2024

by Alvin Reyes Michelin , Tire Review

Dry 90% 90%
Wet 85% 85%
Snow 70% 70%
Comfort 85% 85%
Noise 90% 90%
Treadwear 80% 80%
Overall 84% 84%

One of the reasons why all-season tires have become so popular in the last few years has to do with their traction and grip on all types of surfaces. With their extra-wide grooves and internal steel belts, these tires not only provide extreme cornering and braking abilities but they can also handle more abuse.

Michelin’s all-season tires aspire to do something extra. That means that whether they offer everything mentioned above, models like the Latitude Tour HP come with additional features so that you have no problem differentiating them from other all-weather tires on the market.

And what are those additional features? Do they just increase the asking price of this all-season tire or make their presence felt on the road? Read on our review of the Michelin Latitude Tour HP to have answers to all these questions.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP Review: Features

If you haven’t already, you might want to check out how the Michelin Latitude – the predecessor of the Latitude Tour HP – fared in our test drive a few months ago. That would allow you to have a better understanding of this model’s features, and areas where it has improved on its precursor.

Exclusive Technologies

As far as providing its tires with the latest technologies is concerned, Michelin always takes the lead over its competitors. The Latitude Tour HP is a visible reminder of this fact, as this tire comes with three exclusive technologies. Apart from populating its specs’ list, all three of them help take this model’s performance to the next level.

Comfort Contact Technology : The name of this technology betrays what its major function is. It makes sure that the tire is in constant contact with the road at all times, thereby reducing the vibrations that passengers might feel in the vehicle’s cabin.
Filament At Zero Degrees Technology : To reinforce the tire’s twin steel belts, the FAZ technology precisely places individual, nylon filaments in specific portions in the tread area at a zero degree angle. This unique arrangement helps the tire retain its original shape for long and enhances steering precision.
Green X Technology : Michelin claims that all its models that come with the Green X symbol provide huge fuel efficiency without asking you to compromise on other key features such as tire traction and tread wear.

Three Speed Ratings

As we have been telling in these pages before, tires’ speed rating indicates the maximum speed they can maintain without decreasing their shelf life over a longer period. Hence the reason why expensive models such as sports cars have tires with high-speed ratings than, say, family sedans.

H Speed Rating : Provided you own a coupe, we recommend that you choose the Tour HP which comes with H-speed rating – as it allows you to take your vehicle’s speed all the way up to 130 miles per hour.
V Speed Rating : Not impressed with the maximum limit set by the previous speed rating? That means that you might have either a sports car or a coupe. So the best you can do is get V-rated tires whose maximum speed limit is at a massive 149mph.
W Speed Rating : The W-speed rating is given to those tires which meet the needs of vehicles that can reach abnormally high speeds, as any normal vehicle can only dream of hitting the speedometer at 168mph.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP Review: Test Drive

Given the fact that it’s such a high-speed tire, we did have our doubts about the performance of this model on our lowly family sedan. To be specific, we were concerned that since it caters to the expensive segment of market, this tire might not do well for normal folks who don’t believe in the ‘paddle-to-the-metal’ maxim. Read on to find out whether or not it proved our doubts true.

Treadwear and Durability

First things first, Michelin offers four treadwear warranties on specific sizes of the Tour HP. Let’s look at the warranty periods before discussing the treadwear properties.

Models with H, V and W speed ratings : 55,000 miles warranty
Models with W speed rating : 45,000 miles warranty
Models with H speed rating : 30,000 and 60,000 miles warranty

So what do these warranty periods tell us? Models that are provided with lower speed (H) rating last at least 15,000 miles before than those which come with the highest (W) rating. In plain English, if you drive slowly, the tire will last longer.

That’s exactly what we found while we took the tire on a test drive. While users who have used W-rated tires complain that they wear down quickly, our H-rated tire showed no such signs whatsoever.

Of course, there are other factors like your driving style which impact a tire’s wear, but our impression was that if you don’t own an exotic vehicle, choosing the H-rated version of the Latitude HP will allow you to keep on using the same pair for a longer period.

Dry Performance

When checking the dry performance of all-season tires’, we always have a two-point checklist at hand. It monitors the tire’s performance based on high-speed stability and traction on dry surfaces. Thankfully, the Latitude Tour HP ticked both these boxes with aplomb.

Thanks to the wide groove pattern of its tread pattern, this tire ensures excellent steering responsiveness and precision at high speeds. As a result, apart from getting a super road feel, you always feel that you’re in control, regardless of how high the reading on the speedometer might be.

As for maintaining its traction on dry surfaces, that’s where the Comfort Contact Technology makes its presence count. It effectively distributes the stress along the tread pattern to make sure that the tire is in contact with the road at all times, thereby providing a superior grip.

Wet Performance

Most all-season tires face a double whammy when you take them on a road that has only recently received showers. On one end, they have to provide optimum traction to prevent any slippage. On the other, their grooves have to effectively channel water to keep the danger of hydroplaning at bay.

The Latitude Tour HP performs both these seemingly contradictory jobs with ease. While we weren’t aware of them at first, a post-drive inspection of the features list revealed that it was its 2D Active Sipes that were responsible for improving these tires’ grip on wet roads.

Even when you’re driving in heavy rain, the circumferential tread grooves of this model would never let water disconnect the tire’s connection with the road surface. They do that by constantly eliminating water from beneath the tire’s tread, enhancing the HP’s hydroplaning resistance.

Comfort and Noise

Not long ago, one of our readers asked us to name one feature which is common among all Michelin tires. Our answer? High comfort and low noise. That’s because we knew that all of its models come with two specific features which make your ride noise- and vibrations-free.

The first among those features is the Comfort Contact Technology. It reduces the vibrations the tire will pick up from the road and transmit to the cabin by maintaining constant contact with the road. As a result, those traveling won’t have to contend with road vibrations.

Secondly, its computer-optimized tread pattern plays its part to absorb road noise. It does that by evenly distributing stress along with the tire’s tread, thereby, making sure that all the road voices are canceled out within the tire’s rolling movement.

Snow & Ice

In contrast to what Michelin might want you to believe, the performance of these tires on snow and ice is well below-par. That’s a bit of a shame considering the fact that the original Latitude Tour holds up its own in light snow and ice conditions.

However, with the Tour HP, there’s no such thing as ice traction. You can corroborate our views about their performance on snow by asking other users of these tires. Provided they are being truthful, you should become scared enough to never, ever take them on anything colored white.

We don’t blame its manufacturer because these tires, as their speed ratings indicate, are designed to be driven at abnormally high speeds. They are more concerned about their highway performance and less on traction on snow and ice.

Michelin Latitude Tour HP Review: Conclusion

When compared with Michelin Latitude Tour, the Latitude Tour HP performs better on high-speed stability, wet-road grip, and ultra-comfortable and noise-free ride, though it performs poorly once you compare this model’s performance on snow & ice with that of its predecessor.

High speed ratings
Brilliant traction on wet surfaces
Excellent stability on dry roads

Michelin Latitude Tour HP vs Continental CrossContact LX25

When it comes to Crossover Touring All-Season tires, both the Michelin Latitude Tour HP and the Continental CrossContact LX25 are great options, designed to cater to the diverse needs of modern SUVs. But which out of them is a better pick for you? Well, let’s find out.

So overall, the Michelin Tour HP takes the lead in:

Superior linear and lateral dry grip.
Faster average braking distance.
Quicker steering response and handling.
Enhanced directional grip due to elongated ribs and dense central tread.

Detailed Discussion on Tour HP .

Whereas CrossContact LX25 excels in:

Better handling in snow and ice with open tread design and flexible biters.
Superior wet performance with dense siping and softer compound.
Enhanced ride comfort and reduced noise levels.

Performance on Dry Roads

Let’s explore the crucial aspects of dry tire performance separately: assessing the linear and lateral grip and the steering response.

Directional Grip

The primary factor affecting a tire’s “straight-line” or directional traction is its central region.

But why does the central tread footprint hold such importance?

Well, this area endures the bulk of concentrated weight (of vehicle and tire itself), particularly when the tire is in linear motion. In fact, this is the reason tires often have continuous ribs or denser lugs at the center compared to their shoulders.

Now, here the Latitude Tour HP takes the upper hand, demonstrating a feet shorter average braking distance, (which is how this grip gets measured).

This Michelin’s tire basically is designed with elongated ribs and fewer voids, enhancing road contact and thereby increasing friction and grip.

Conversely, the Continental CrossContact LX25 features a more voided central rib, which slightly diminishes its performance compared to the Michelin, despite the marginal difference of less than a foot.

Lateral Traction

When it comes to dry handling, you’ve really got to focus on how well the car grips to the side (lateral traction) and how quickly it responds to steering.

Now, talking about grip first, both these tires are pretty good here. I mean both of them are pretty much neck and neck, giving you similar lateral g forces (on tests, on average).

This is mainly because both boys offers a lot of biters.

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP has some very effective in-groove notches/ deep cuts giving the tire bite. I am talking about those longitudinal voids in its shoulders and multi-directional ones on the central ribs.

Whereas the CrossContact LX25 offers the same. As you can see (in its tread image), it offers similar multi-directional in-block notches on the ribs (also called block columns) between central most and shoulder ribs.

Though, when we talk about overall handling, Michelin’s the one beating the clock, being over a 0.5 seconds quicker in handling lap tests, mostly all thanks to its stellar steering feel.

Steering Dynamics

Before we jump in, it’s crucial to grasp the three key stages of cornering:

Entry: This is the beginning of the turn, where braking comes into play.
Mid-Corner: At this point, the car is halfway through the turn, and steering response becomes critical.
Exit: Finally, as you straighten the car out, the tire’s ability to re-center without slipping is what matters most.

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP shines in all these areas. As mentioned earlier, it offers slightly faster braking (due to its superior directional grip).

Moreover, its solid steering feedback during the mid-corner and exit phases ensures stable tire performance without any over or understeering issues.

Conversely, the Continental CrossContact LX25 isn’t terrible, but its steering response is slightly slower compared to the Latitude.

Why is this? Well, the answer lies in its design.

The tire basically lacks with its Comfort Ride Technology, which incorporates a cushioning layer above the nylon cap plies, leading to a softer tire structure.

This design makes the tire’s lugs more flexible, which, while comfortable, can slightly affect the tire’s balance and lead to a bit of understeering.

Ride Comfort

Driving comfort hinges on two things: the noise level of the tire tread and the tire’s proficiency at cushioning road irregularities. Let’s dissect and understand these components.

Noise Reduction

When assessing tire noise, it’s essential to understand that it primarily comes from air particles hitting the tread walls. In other words, as tire rolls, air gets compressed in and out of the tire hitting tread and features on it, generating unwanted sounds.

That’s why out of both tires, the Continental CrossContact LX25 comes out quieter (on decibel scale), with its packed up shoulder blocks, and adjacent (continuous-running ribs), blocking lateral voids.

This limits the air entry in the first place, handling noise at its source.

Moreover, the tire also features a relatively more absorbent rubber composition and structure, keeping in-groove resonance (or echoing of noise) to a minimum as well.

Impact Comfort

The smoothness of a ride largely hinges on a tire’s capacity to absorb road irregularities effectively. And here the Continental’s tire once again stands out as a more preferable option.

This superior comfort is due to the LX25’s distinctive design, featuring an extra layer atop its nylon cap plies, specifically engineered to soften the impact of road bumps, (aptly named the Comfort Ride Technology).

Additionally, its polyester casing features a more flexible makeup, further enhancing the tire’s ability to adapt and smooth out the ride.

And yes one more thing, the tread on CrossContact is also infused with +Silane additives. While primarily aimed at increasing fuel efficiency, these additives also play a significant role in diminishing road vibrations, contributing to a more serene driving experience.

Side Note : You may want to check out my detailed post on noise and comfort from all-season tires .

Wet Performance

Wet performance requires a lot of engineering, mostly because of the fact that water can not be squeezed. Meaning, it has to go somewhere otherwise it would cause tire to float or “hydroplane”.

Come in the sipes and the grooves.

Grooves play a primary role in shifting most of the water, but sipes enhance this by a significant margin.

At a glance, these sipes might just look like small cuts, but they’re crucial for improving grip, functioning at a microscopic level, as they expand to expel air and contract to create a suction effect, pulling in water particles (left out by the grooves).

Now, taking this in to account reveals two essential features of an effective wet tire:

First, it must have plenty of sipes.
Second, it must use these sipes or maintain tread flexibility.

This understanding clarifies why the Michelin Latitude Tour HP falls a bit short in wet conditions (in my tests).

Despite having plenty of curved interlocking sipes, its stiffer compound limits their flexibility, diminishing its wet handling performance (for the most part).

On the other hand, the Continental CrossContact LX25 fares better, featuring denser siping along with a softer compound, ensuring the sipes stay flexible, even during tight maneuvers.

Additionally, this tire has more “voids”, offering improved resistance to hydroplaning. Its slightly balder tread leads to faster water dispersal, enhancing traction by reducing the initial reliance on sipes.

To really shine in tread life, a tire needs a mix of robust construction and smart design. This often involves using tougher rubber to withstand wear while ensuring a steady grip under different conditions.

Now out of both tires here, the CrossContact LX25 is better here, offering 60 to 70k miles on average (throughout its tread life).

This is primarily due to its comparatively lighter structure, despite having more layers in its build.

This reduced weight translates to less pressure on the tire’s lugs when they hit the road, which in turn helps prolong the tire’s tread life.

Conversely, the Michelin Latitude Tour HP, tailored for “high-performance” SUVs although provide superior grip, this benefit is offset by increased rolling resistance, which not only shortens the tire’s lifespan but also affects fuel efficiency.

For those curious about Michelin’s range, it’s worth considering the standard Michelin Latitude Tour, not the “HP” model. Though they look similar, the standard version boasts a longer tread life with a 65,000-mile warranty, while the HP variant’s warranty ranges between 45,000 to 55,000 miles, depending on the speed ratings.

Winter Traction

When evaluating how well tires perform in winter conditions, three important aspects are considered:

How well the tire handles.
How well it maintains direction on slippery surfaces.
And how well it accelerates, especially on snow and ice.

Now, here, the Michelin Latitude Tour HP, with a ton of biters and siping although offers appreciable performance, it still lacks to Continental’s tire due to its stiffer rubber composition.

Basically, its biters tend to stiffen up (further) with colder temperatures, losing traction.

On the other hand, the Continental CrossContact LX25 is designed with features that make it more suitable for harsh winter conditions.

It’s a bit narrower (section width), and has an open tread design, which is effective at moving snow out of the way, helping the car move better in snowy conditions.

Moreover, the shape of its tread elements, or “biters”, is especially good at holding onto snow, which improves traction because snow sticks better to itself than to rubber.

Overall, while both tires have their strengths, the CrossContact LX25 stands out for its versatile performance across various conditions, making it a more reliable choice for SUV owners.

Though the Michelin Latitude Tour HP does offer superior dry performance with its elongated ribs and dense central tread, providing excellent directional grip and braking.

But yes, it falls short in wet and winter conditions due to its stiffer composition.

And this stiffer rubber of this tire also puts it behind in terms of road comfort performance as well.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

Arrow showing the direction of metro line 1 and 2

Moscow subways are very clean

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow. Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

Kievskaya Metro Station

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

9. Belorusskaya Metro Station is named after the people of Belarus. In the picture below, there are statues of 3 members of the Partisan Resistance in Belarus during World War II. The statues were sculpted by Sergei Orlov, S. Rabinovich and I. Slonim.

10. Teatralnaya Metro Station (Theatre Metro Station) is located near the Bolshoi Theatre.
