In this comparison, we are comparing a tyre from a manufacturer from Taiwan (
Maxxis) against a tyre from a manufacturer from France (
Michelin). Generally,
Michelin allround tyres are slightly better rated (85%) than
Maxxis (65%). In this particular case, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV has a better rating of 89% compared to 65% of the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3. The first tyre test of Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 was done in 2019, compared to 2023 when was the Michelin CrossClimate 2 SUV first tested. Important for this comparison is also the
ACE 2024 215/50 R18 test, where both the
Premitra AS AP3 and the
CrossClimate 2 SUV were tested. We also know where
Premitra AS AP3 is made - China.
