The Maxxis Premitra AS AP3, manufactured in China, was tested and given a reasonable review by us with a rating of 63%. This tyre is appreciated for its excellent performance in wet circle cornering and for comparatively lower exterior noise.

With a stellar rating of 96%, it features among the top-rated tyres in its category. It has demonstrated excellent dry braking, significant snow traction and more comfortable exterior noise levels. It significantly outperformed the Maxxis Premitra AS AP2 in the Autobild test, securing the 2nd position.
tests.


Despite their strengths, both models have their shortcomings. The Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 tends to have a limited tread life and slightly delayed steering response. The Michelin CrossClimate 2, while superior in various aspects, was noted for its average side guidance on wet surfaces and relatively low mileage.


In terms of improvements, the Michelin CrossClimate 2 is the newer model, succeeding the previous Michelin CrossClimate model. However, there is no newer alternative to the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 as of now.


Overall, both tyres make a reliable choice, but the Michelin CrossClimate 2 stands out as the top contender with its phenomenal test results and features. Further information about the tyres can be obtained from the manufacturers’ websites: Maxxis and Michelin.
