Michelin Latitude tour HP Reviews - Page 3

Using the tyre in tropical country (Malaysia) on my X5 E73, was driving at about 70-80kmph on wet road, making an easy corner, the car lost grip and skidded and hit a curb and it cost me a rim. Recently was driving on wet on a interstate highway at about 110-120kmph on a perfectly straight road, the car suddenly lost control almost hit to the divider, thank God I managed to steer it back to the left and the car cuts thru 2lanes and gain back control on the emergency lane on the left. Thank God the other cars on the road managed to avoid me. The 4 Michelin are quite new, just replaced 7-8 months ago did about 10k km. Really need a new tyre that can help against aquaplaning.

Although it's too early to comment on the tyre's wear, was using Yokohama Geolanders before the Michelins and the immediate difference felt would be the improvement in steering response. The car felt more "alive" and there's greater confidence for spirited driving. Noise levels also improved although not by much while the Michelins are generally more comfortable. Driving under wet conditions was satisfactory with so far no aquaplaning and twitching (the Yokos were less effective under wet conditions and twitched several times through corners). Generally a recommended all weather tyre from a renowned heritage.
