Michelin CrossClimate 3 Features and Benefits

• Extended tread life – delivers up to 15% more mileage than the CrossClimate 2 thanks to Michelin’s MaxTouch Construction, which distributes forces evenly for greater longevity (3).

These updates are expected to help drivers maintain grip and control even in challenging conditions, with Michelin’s typical focus on safety from the first mile to the last.
