255/50 19 Tire Review Highlights

Michelin Latitude Sport 3 rated 68% while driving a Mercedes Benz GLE 450
Driving on mostly motorways for 0 spirited miles
I have a Mercedes Benz GLE 450 with Michelin Latitude Sport 3 tires. These are factory set. After approx. 16,500 km, they started to be extremely noisy...the noise is annoying while driving!!! I now have 43,000 km on them and will be changing them early.

Michelin Latitude Sport 3 rated 92% while driving a Porsche Macan 2.0
Driving on mostly motorways for 1000 average miles
Initial 1,000 miles on 2021 Porsche Macan base. Tires grip extremely well on dry surface and great on damp-to-wet surface. Heavy rain, ice, snow not tested. You can feel them gripping when accelerating. Handling is great, not greatest, but great. Of course on a Porsche they just handle that much better. They are surprisingly quiet being a sporty tire, yet they are firm. Firmness of tire + tighter suspension gives a fair amount of recoil back into the vehicle over bumps, which may be jarring to some. Most will not notice this if used to driving performance-oriented vehicles. Keep in mind this is on 19" wheels and on an already fairly stiff suspension. In normal conditions, tires perform excellent. They plant the car down at high speeds, in turns, and brake very well too. Tires are not old enough to rate longevity.

Strongly recommend to anyone with Porsche Macan or other luxury crossovers/SUVs. Great daily tire in warmer climates while not sacrificing a lot of that performance "oomph" if needed.

Overall 9.5/10

I bought them recently. Drove about 1000 km in the winter. Ok tire for now. It is not noisy and holds quite decently. I'll know a lot more next year.

Nexen N Fera RU5 rated 91% while driving a Mercedes Benz GLE 250d 4Matic
Driving on a combination of roads for 50 average miles
Dry grip was very impressive and no noticeable sledging in the wet either. Wear rate was exceptional (80,000+ km) given the handling of this tire. I've run Falken FK510's on this same vehicle at the same time (rears) & they only lasted 31,000km. The fact the N'Fera RU5's were on the front & doing more work, than the Falkens, the result is amazing.

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 SUV rated 87% while driving a Mercedes Benz ML350
Driving on a combination of roads for 16000 spirited miles
Great tire in the wet, equally as good in the dry. Expensive and fast wearing (25,000 km +/-) Would (did) buy again.

I have these on my Mercedes SUV. Best winter tire I have ever bought. Great on dry roads, fabulous on snow and ice. They grab the road no matter what the condition is. Tread wear is excellent.

Michelin Premier LTX rated 73% while driving a Acura MDX
Driving on a combination of roads for 60000 average miles
These could be a very good set of tires if Michelin would do give it slightly deeper threads. Otherwise I would have no complaints about them.

Landsail LS288 rated 37% while driving a BMW X5 3.0d Sport
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 easy going miles
Had a full set of 4 on my 2002 BMW X5. Big 19" staggered wheels = expensive when they all need replacing. 255/50/19 on the front, 285/45/19 on the back. New Landsails went on as I had fitted them before to a smaller runabout car and they were fine. Definitely NOT fine on the X5. I braked gently into a country road bend in a sudden rainstorm and they simply went straight on, and I don't drive particularly fast. I've not had a fright like that for a very long time. Lucky nothing coming the other way. They were no problem at all until it rained, with only a couple of weeks wear, I think the worst bit was how suddenly they went from grip to no grip at all. I swapped the fronts immediately for a pair of Uniroyals which have been faultless in all conditions. 6000 miles later the car started skating around in wet weather on the motorway. Changed the unevenly worn rear Landsails for Goodyears and the problem is entirely gone. So would never use Landsails again. Have had good experiences for a bit more money with Avon and Uniroyal. I don't believe you need to spend £200 a corner for safe tires, but would never go rock-bottom again. A real shame, as they were cheap and relatively quiet running as well!
