In Autobild's tests, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 ended up in 4th position out of 31 tyres, a commendable performance.

In conclusion, both tyres are excellent choices and offer unique benefits. The Michelin CrossClimate+ stands out for its dry braking, low exterior noise, low rolling resistance and brilliant handling features whilst the Maxxis impresses with its noise levels and aquaplaning ability. If one can deal with the high price, the Michelin may edge out the Maxxis due to its better performance in handling and braking. However, it truly depends on the individual's preferences and usage scenario.
