About This Tire

The Michelin Latitude Sport 3 265/40R21 is a summer tire, designed for high-performance SUV and crossover drivers who prioritize exceptional dry handling and strong wet weather traction in everyday driving. Its asymmetric tread design and advanced compound focus on maximizing grip while maintaining fuel efficiency through Michelin's Green X low rolling resistance technology.

This third-generation tire features variable thickness sipes that reduce tread block deformation for improved rolling resistance, while an increased void ratio enhances wet grip compared to its predecessor. The internal structure includes two high-tensile steel cord belts for stability during cornering and high-speed driving. Driver feedback points to outstanding dry road performance and excellent wet weather capability, with good comfort levels and predictable response in daily use, though treadwear longevity rates as fair.

Compared to touring-oriented SUV tires, it emphasizes maximum performance and handling precision over long-term durability. Overall, it's a solid choice for performance SUVs and crossovers used primarily for spirited driving and daily commuting in warm weather conditions.
