The Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 and the Michelin CrossClimate+ are two high-performing all-round tyres from their respective manufacturers, Maxxis and Michelin. With strong ratings in various tests, selecting the best of the two largely comes down to personal requirements and preferences.
In a comparative test by Autobild, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 particularly shined in exterior noise, aquaplaning, and dry braking. It secured 4th position amongst 31 tyres, achieving an overall rating of 63% from our team. Additionally, it boasted dynamisches handling and kurz Bremswege auf trockener Piste. However, it displayed a reduced performance in wet conditions and showed a bit of an understeering tendency. It should be noted though, that although the tyre offered safety reserves during aquaplaning, it had a moderate mileage. See details here.
The Michelin CrossClimate+, on the other hand, excelled in exterior noise, dry braking, dry handling, mileage, and snow handling. It earned the 2nd position in the same Autobild test and an impressive 71% rating overall. The CrossClimate+ demonstrated balanced performances in various weather conditions, dynamic handling attributes, precise steering behaviour, a high mileage, and reduced rolling resistance. Regardless of these achievements, it comes at a high price. More details about this tyre can be found here.
In summary, if you're looking for a tyre with better mileage and superior all-round performance, the Michelin CrossClimate+ stands out. However, if a quieter tyre with safety reserves during aquaplaning is your priority, the Maxxis Premitra AS AP3 makes a good choice. Regardless of the choice, both tyres promise good performance in various situations.
Before making a final decision, consider all the highlighted points and remember that each tyre's performance may vary based on driving style, vehicle type, and environmental variables. For the most accurate comparison, refer to the test scores and observations specified in this review.
