Michelin Latitude Sport 3 (295/40R20 106Y N0 EU Y24)

The Porsche Macan Specialist. “Engineered for Excellence and Safety.”

The Latitude Sport 3 (LS3) is acclaimed for its driving dynamics and safety, having been chosen by the most prestigious SUV manufacturers as original equipment. It focuses on precision handling and benchmark wet-weather safety.

✨ Key 2026 Technical Features

• 🏎️ Continuous Central Rib:

  A solid central rib ensures high torque transfer during both acceleration and braking. This provides the precise handling and direct steering feedback required to match the sporty characteristics of a Porsche SUV.

• 🧪 Innovative Tread Compound:

  Utilizing a new blend of silica and functional elastomers, the LS3 offers a significant improvement in mileage compared to its predecessor. This compound also enhances the “bite” on wet surfaces, earning it a Class A rating for wet grip.

• 🛡️ Two-Ply Robust Carcass:

  Recognizing that high-performance SUVs often face the “concrete jungle,” Michelin uses a 2-ply carcass for increased robustness and durability. This protects the tyre against sidewall damage from potholes or uneven urban surfaces.

• 🌧️ Variable Thickness Sipes:

  These specialized sipes reduce tread block deformation, which lowers rolling resistance and improves fuel efficiency. More importantly, they provide exceptional stability in the wet, effectively channelling water away to prevent hydroplaning.

• 🎨 Porsche “N0” Calibration:

  This variant is specifically tuned to harmonize with Porsche’s suspension and traction control systems. It ensures that your Macan maintains its factory-certified balance between comfort and aggressive performance.
