Description
MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 – the all-season tyre
- Reliable all year round – whatever the weather
- Longer service life thanks to durable tread – without compromising on reliability
- Efficient energy use for vehicles with combustion engines, hybrid and electric drives
- Also suitable for electric vehicles
The MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 is an all-season tyre designed for use in a variety of weather conditions, including snow. It uses proven MICHELIN technologies, including Thermal Adaptive Tread Compound technology, which adapts to changing road conditions. MICHELIN Energy Efficiency technologies promote efficient energy use and help reduce fuel consumption. The tyre is designed for comfort, durability and consistent performance throughout the year.
Reliability – all year round:
The MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 offers reliable performance in dry, wet and snowy road conditions – whatever the season. Thermal Adaptive Tread Compound technology adapts to changing conditions and supports vehicle control. The optimised tread design reduces braking distances on wet roads by 4%. In addition, the tyre is certified with the 3PMSF symbol for use in snow.
16% higher mileage meets consistent performance:
The MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 adapts to every bend in the road and distributes acceleration, braking and steering forces evenly. This can lead to 15% higher mileage. The tyre also features a wear indicator that makes it easy to track the degree of wear.
Choose efficiency – whether you have a combustion engine, electric or hybrid drive:
This all-season tyre uses MICHELIN Energy Efficiency technologies to reduce energy loss and optimise rolling resistance. This can contribute to lower fuel consumption or extended range for electric vehicles.
An all-season tyre – also for your electric vehicle:
More range per charge. More peace and quiet. The MICHELIN CrossClimate 3 is tailored to the requirements of your electric vehicle and, thanks to Pioano Acoustic Technology, reduces driving noise – for greater driving comfort, whether with new or used tyres.
Manufacturer information
EU Tyre Label
The Tyre Labelling Regulation determines the information that must be provided with regard to tyres' fuel efficiency, wet grip and external rolling noise. Information is also provided on the product's performance in wintery driving conditions.
Regulation EU 1222/2009, which has been in force since 01/11/2012, has been revised and will be replaced from 1 May 2021 by Regulation EU 2020/740, from which point new standards will apply. The assessment categories for fuel efficiency, wet grip and external noise have been changed and the layout of the EU label has been changed accordingly. The manufacturers' product data sheets, stored in the EU database, can be downloaded via a QR code integrated into the label. It also includes information on snow grip and ice grip for tyres that meet these criteria.
The following tyres are exempt from the regulation:
- Tyres designed to be fitted only to vehicles registered for the first time before 1 October 1990
- Remoulded tyres (until Regulation EU 2020/740 has been widened accordingly)
- Professional off-road tyres
- Racing tyres
- Tyres with additional devices to improve traction, e.g. studded tyres
- Temporary-use spare tyres (T-type tyres)
- Tyres with a speed rating below 80 km/h
- Tyres with a nominal rim diameter of 254 mm or less and 635 mm or more

Overview of criteria and valuation classes
Fuel efficiency
Fuel consumption is dependent upon the rolling resistance of the tyres, the vehicle itself, driving conditions and driving style. The measured rolling resistance (rolling resistance coefficient) of the tyre is categorised in classes A (most efficient) to E (least efficient).
Fitting a vehicle with class A tyres all round can lead to a reduction in fuel consumption of up to 7.5%* in comparison to the same vehicle with class E tyres all round. Commercial vehicles may have even greater reductions.
(Source: Impact analysis of the European Commission
* if measured in accordance with the stated procedures in EU Regulation 2020/7400)
Please note:
Fuel consumption depends to a great extent on the individual driving style and can be reduced considerably by driving in an environmentally friendly manner. To improve fuel efficiency, tyre pressures must be checked regularly.
Wet grip
Wet grip is categorised in classes A (shortest braking distance - E (longest braking distance).
A car fitted with class A tyres can have a braking distance which is 18 m shorter than that of a car fitted with class E tyres when performing an emergency stop at 80 km/h (in average road grip conditions). *

Please note:
Road safety is highly dependent upon individual driving style. Stopping distances must always be observed. To improve road grip in wet conditions, tyre pressure must be checked regularly.
External rolling noise
The noise emission of a tyre has an effect upon the total noise of the vehicle and influences not only driving comfort, but also environmental noise pollution. The EU tyre label categorises extrnal rolling noise in the classes from A (quietest rolling noise level) to C (loudest rolling noise level). This is measured in decibels (dB) and compared to the European noise emission limit values for external tyre rolling noise.
A
The pictogram with the classification "A" shows that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by more than 3 dB.
B
Classification "B" means that the external rolling noise of the tyre falls below the 2016 EU limit value by up to 3 dB.
C
Classification "C" means that the specified limit value has been exceeded.
Grip in snow, winter-suitability
Tyres labelled with the 3 Peak Mountain Snow Flake, or "3PMSF" symbol, must display a specified braking or traction characteristic on a solid bed of snow in comparison to a standardised reference comparison tyre (a so-called "SRTT" - standard reference test tyre).
Please note:
For all winter and all-year tyres manufactured from 1/1/2018, the Alpine symbol is mandatory. Tyres labelled as such are tested for their snow characteristics in a standardised and globally recognised test procedure and must fulfil specified minimum requirements. These tyres provide particularly good performance with regard to safety and driving control in winter conditions - snow, icy roads and low temperatures.
