The Michelin Latitude Sport 3 is a summer SUV tyre specialising in the braking of heavier vehicles on wet roads and designed to be used in warmer weather. It has a unique compound including silica and a new elastomer designed to help the rubber grip on wet roads. This tyre design has a continuous central rib, which helps accelerate and transfer braking forces through the tread. The design features vertical and horizontal grooves to help disperse water. Strength and durability for the SUV loads are designed into the casing. Supporting cornering are the outer blocks that are reinforced.
This product has replaced the Latitude Sport and in the wet braking tests, Michelin claims it outperforms its predecessor by stopping 2.7m shorter. Some sizes of the Sport 3 have a run-flat design ZP, which allow the tyre to go on supporting the vehicle, after losing air, and allowing the vehicle to travel at a limited speed. All versions of the Michelin Latitude Sport 3 including the run-flat design ZP are available for purchase on Tyres.co.uk.
