In the world of premium
all-season tyres,
Goodyear and
Michelin continue to set the benchmark for performance, reliability, and innovation.
The
Goodyear Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 has proven itself a key player in this space since its debut, offering a strong blend of wet, dry, and winter handling characteristics that have made it a trusted choice for UK drivers.
Acting as a direct competitor to the latest Vector 4Seasons generation, Michelin has launched its
CrossClimate 3 - a model that is anticipated to be an excellent all-season tyre choice for years to come.
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at both the Vector 4Seasons Gen-3 and CrossClimate 3 models, including their key features, performance, customer feedback, and more.
Michelin CrossClimate 3 Overview
The Michelin CrossClimate 3 is a high-quality all-season
tyre introduced in 2025 as the successor to the
Michelin CrossClimate 2. As the latest innovation in the trusted CrossClimate series, the CC3 offers dependable year-round performance with a perfect balance of safety, efficiency, and comfort.
Certified with the Three Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, it meets stringent EU standards for winter conditions. Improved wet braking performance – up to 4% shorter than its predecessor – ensures added peace of mind in unpredictable road situations.
The CC3 also brings notable comfort enhancements, thanks to Michelin’s Piano Acoustic Tuning Technology, which helps minimise road noise for a quieter ride, even as the tyre wears.
With MaxTouch Construction optimising contact with the road surface, the CrossClimate 3 evenly distributes driving forces to increase mileage by up to 15%. Additionally, it supports energy efficiency for petrol, hybrid, and electric vehicles – helping drivers go further on every tank or charge.
A true evolution of the CrossClimate legacy, the CC3 is built to perform across all seasons and is expected to stand out as one of Michelin’s flagship models for years to come.
