πŸ’‘ Is the Michelin Latitude Tour HP 255/70R18 a Good Tire?

The Michelin Latitude Tour HP 255/70R18 is an all-season touring tire designed for mid-size SUVs and crossovers. It delivers solid dry handling and reliable wet traction thanks to its silica-based EnergySaver Construction and circumferential grooves. Ride comfort is above average with low road noise, making it well-suited for highway cruising. Tread life is competitive for its category, though it lacks the extended mileage warranties of Michelin's passenger car tires. Rated Good by TireRack based on 622 consumer surveys, it excels in comfort and on-road manners but is not intended for serious off-road use. Currently priced from $275.48, it is available through major online tire retailers.
