Michelin s Crossover/SUV Touring All-Season light truck tire the Latitude Tour HP is created for the drivers of premium sport utility and crossover vehicles and is designed to blend comfort handling and All-Season traction (even in light snow).

Featuring Michelin’s FAZ Technology (Filament At Zero degrees) the tire s internal structure showcases twin steel belts reinforced with polyester and aramid/nylon cords wound spirally under the tread area delivering a stable feel and crisp steering. The polyester cord reinforced sidewalls enhance ride quality of the Latitude Tour HP.
