No more Michelin Cross Terrains

I called Tire Rack for a new set of Cross Terrains and they said they are not being made anymore. They were replaced by the Michelin Latitude Tour HP. Anyone try these? Any good? I wonder if they are just like the Cross Terrains. God I loved that tire!

Yep...I had to move to the Latitudes as well after the Cross Terrains..

I loved those Cross Terrains..

Latitudes are great, but I still miss my Cross Terrains...

I think the Cross Terrains provided a better ride quality compared to the Latitudes...

Have 5000 miles on my Latitudes with the 1st tire rotation to schedule now...no complains..but still miss those Cross Terrains...

Cross Terrains have been the only set ever that gave me 40K+miles ever...the Dunlop TG35s would wear out around 33K miles for me...

I am told though, that the latitudes may have an even better life than the Cross Terrains...

Sweet. Looks like they have the Cross Terrains there for $178 a tire. Tire Rack is selling the Latitudes for $202 a tire.
The local tire shop down the road said he could get me a set of Cross Terrains for $269 a tire.

Those prices are high!!

I had purchased my latitudes for $156/tire last fall (no shipping charges, since I live only 20 miles from the tirerack warehouse)...

I guess, I got lucky!
