Review on MICHELIN Latitude Tour HP 255/55 R19 111W summer by Micha Kamierczak ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

The product is working, but I will not repeat the purchase for sure.

I read a lot of reviews about this rubber, someone was delighted, and someone was completely disappointed. I'll write mine. First, I have tires made in Poland. 215/70 R16. bought completely new. As it turned out later, it is very important who exactly the manufacturer of rubber is, this affects its quality and explains such inconsistency in the reviews. There is no need to talk about any softness, the rubber is quite hard, and in order to be softer, you have to reduce the pressure to 2.1., But it keeps well on the road with such a high profile. No hints of roll and soft sidewall. She appeared to be quite quiet. But most of all I was pleased with this rubber - it's how it holds a wet road and track. Braking and handling was just excellent. In heavy rain, I could safely spit in the left lane of the Ring Road and puddles in the rut did not bother me at all. In general, when it rained, I was happy as a child. Since it is all-weather, and does not become dull in frost, the rubber also held up well in snow and slush in winter. I changed my shoes for winter already when it was completely winter-winter. But the second season brought disappointment: 1) The tread began to peel off, straight in pieces. This is a disease of this model, I often read about it in reviews. 2) Rubber worn out by 50% for 20,000 runs, and lost its dignity. 3) I stopped keeping the wet road and hydroplaning appeared at a speed of more than 80 km / h. 4) Became more noisy. In total, the mileage was somewhere around 35,000 in two seasons, it seems to be not bad, the tread is still there, no hernias have appeared, but it’s time to change it. Disappointed by the rapid wear and consequent loss of their merits.

Pros
  • Well holds a wet road and the first snow, but only while new. Pretty quiet. Indifferent to the track.
Cons
  • Rapid wear. Rigid. The protector peels off.
