Magazine tests
Published braking distances (Auto Bild, auto motor und sport, Auto Zeitung, ADAC, Za Rulem and others). Rank = position in the same test on the same surface (1 = shortest). The tests use different sizes, cars and conditions, so only compare numbers within the same test.

Frequently asked questions
What is the wet grip class of the Michelin Crossclimate 3?
On the EU tyre label, the Michelin Crossclimate 3 has wet grip class B in every size in our database. A is the best and E the worst. The difference between class A and class E is about 18 m of braking distance from 90 km/h on a wet road.
How long is the braking distance of the Michelin Crossclimate 3 on a wet road?
According to the Pidurdusmaa.ee calculation, the Michelin Crossclimate 3 205/55 R16 stops from 90 km/h on a wet road in about 40 metres (Citroën C3 IV (2024+), without reaction time). The calculation is based on wet grip class B on the EU tyre label.
Is the Michelin Crossclimate 3 suitable for an Estonian winter?
Better suited to city driving. The Michelin Crossclimate 3 is an all-season tyre, a compromise between summer and winter. On ice and snow it needs a longer braking distance than a Nordic friction or studded tyre.
Has the Michelin Crossclimate 3 been independently tested?
Yes. Source: AUTO BILD 2025. The Michelin Crossclimate 3 stopped on snow from 50 km/h in 22.6 m, ranking 1 of 15 tyres.
What sizes is the Michelin Crossclimate 3 available in?
In the EU tyre register, our database has the Michelin Crossclimate 3 in 83 sizes, for example 175/60 R18, 195/55 R16, 195/55 R20, 195/60 R16, 195/60 R18 and 195/65 R16. As a main factory size it fits cars such as the Audi A6 C9 (2025+), Audi Q3 III (2025+) and BMW iX3 NA5 (2025+).
