Technology description:
The tyre combines the features of comfort and efficiency from luxury car models with the performance of products intended for off-road . Does such a solution work in practice? The Michelin Latitude Cross summer model proves that it is possible. The tyre has an asymmetric tread specific in tyres for powerful cars such as luxury SUVs, and aggressive blocks interspersed with a network of grooves typical for off-road tyres. This means that the Michelin Latitude Cross tyres provides traction on off-road tyres, on-road ride comfort and high wear resistance.
The asymmetric tread pattern provides the car with stability during dynamic manoeuvring and cornering . At the same time, the tread efficiently drains water and protects against aquaplaning. When driving in terrain, the Michelin Latitude Cross tyres offer traction and grip suitable for classical off-road tyres. The aggressive pattern improves control of the car on difficult surfaces, such as wet grass .
Michelin Latitude Cross provides a significantly improved ride of comfort for off-road tyres. They use "Silent Tread Design" technology, which provides a level of acoustic comfort appropriate for the road tyres .
In the production of the tyres, a compound was used which is normally applied by Michelin in industrial type tyres. As a result, they managed to create a tread resistant to wear by stones and gravel. The Terrain Proof compound will allow you to overcome the wilderness without the risk of quick wear. .
This model is designated for universal SUVs and pickups.
