MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 Sport REIFENBEWERTUNG

I needed better tyres on my Ford Focus ST for a trip to the high French Alps in January 2026. I took off the Pirelli P Zero FP currently fitted and stored them to put back on in the summer. The Cross Climates are amazing, completely reassuring when driving in heavy rain and pretty good on snow, didn’t even need to put on the snow socks I had for the worst conditions. Highly recommended. Allow Wheel rash from when I let my son drive my car ………..

The original tyre Pirelli P Zero is track and warm weather focused. The Michelin Cross Climate Sport 3 feels much safer and offers superior grip in winter conditions.

Seem to be much quieter than the ones they replaced. Wet grip has been really good. Feels like a new car. Little anxious about how long the Sport variant will last, but happy so far.

A lot better grip, less noise and amazing all round in all weather. Got them just before bad snow and they were perfect

Excellent, haven’t used them in the snow yet but icy roads have been a breeze. Also good in the wet.

Lovely tyres, they feel very safe on wet roads and are quiet too. Great tread pattern and generally look good on the car.

The car drives smoothly with little noise. It grips well in the wet, you can see the dry lines in the road behind you when driving through surface water. In the dry conditions much the same I fill confident in all weather conditions the car will not slip or slide.

They offer no protection for my alloy wheels.

The tyres are great in all conditions cant fault them

These replaced a set of michelin pilot sport 5 so i was not expecting them to perform to the same level. Istead i wanted to try all season tyres on my golf r estate with 19" wheels to see if these were a little less crashy over the terrible scottish roads. I have to say they have made a noticeable difference. Dont get me wrong there is no miracle cure for 19" 35 profile tyres but these are significantly comfier day to day. Grip and performance is close and really good on cold wet days but you do notice the loss of sharpness on turn in generally compared to the mps5's. That is about the only downside to performance. They are also very rounded off at the tyre knuckle to the point it looks like i needed a wider tyre (i don't i checked) and rim protection is non existent so stay away from kerbs!!! I am concerned the outer tread of the tyre may wear quickly. They run really quiet, clear rain and wet road very well, have plenty of grip on icy mornings, dry, wet for everything other than track days. Not tried them in summer so? Solid 7/10.
