Starting with the Michelin CrossClimate+, which scored an imressive 75% in our ratings. The substantiated strengths of this tyre, according to Autobild, include dry braking, exterior noise, rolling resistance, dry handling, mileage, and snow handling. It's an excellent performer across a range of conditions, living up to its allrounder label. Notably, this tyre was placed 2nd out of 31 tyres in Autobild's testing, showing its overall quality. On the downside, the major setback to this tyre is its high price point. More about the Michelin CrossClimate+ can be found on the Michelin's official website.


Moving on to the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3, it scored less favourably than the Michelin tyre with a rating of 53% in our tests. However, this rating still indicates a quality tyre. Its best features were exterior noise and aquaplaning, showcasing this tyre's excellent water-shedding ability. The tyre also performed well in dry braking. In Autobild's tests, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 ended up in 4th position out of 31 tyres, a commendable performance. Unfortunately, this tyre suffers from a mediocre mileage and extended braking distances on wet surfaces. More about the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 can be found on the Maxxis's official website.


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.
