Review on MICHELIN Latitude Tour HP 215/65 R16 98H summer by Micha Dbrowski ᠌

After searching for the Good Year Eagle LS 2 tire, which is 225/55/18 normal and fits the Outlander XL, I eventually found it. The drive was difficult and noisy, but the handling on dry roads and steering precision were excellent. My Michelin Latitude Tour HP 225/60/18 100H tires, which are designed for 4x4 vehicles and have a 30% higher mileage, are from St. Petersburg. After a thousand kilometers, it got considerably softer, quieter, and better at swallowing holes. The XL has become somewhat more rolly due to the 60% profile (+22 mm) and handling has slightly deteriorated, but on the track it is still superb because at hard 55 mm every steering wheel movement was felt, keeping you on your toes. The edge of the disk protrudes slightly from the tire since there is no fender on the tire, but there was a bump stop on the standard tires and the tires extended past the edge of the disk, giving the impression that the wheel was wider. The appearance has changed on Michelin, becoming more rugged and useful but less appealing. I'm sick of searching for the manufacturing date code; it turns out it's on the inside of me (the jamb of tire fitters; the oval with the date should be on the outside of the wheel), stamped with the four-digit code 2912 (29 week 12 years) after DOT.
