Am missing something ? Can’t see the snowflake or mountain label ?
While I would always go by the specs rather than the picture, if you zoom in you can see it.

Caravanned for 30 years, nearly two years in with the motorhome.
Another positive vote for the Michelin cross climate campers. Confidence on wet grass (most of the summer so far) traction in the snow ( french alps at Easter) sandy pitches last week and lots of wet motorway miles.

Getting a full set fitted next week, Michelin cross climate camping 225/75R16 118R
👍 Times like this I wish I had not bought a tag axle. 😂
Tyres on at the moment are Michelin agilis camping, fronts five years old, rears eight years old. So should see a differance hopefully.👍

I have just done over 1000 miles on 4 new Michelin Cross Climate Camping tyres. I am well pleased with the traction in mud and on wet grass. Performance on wet tarmac roads is also really good. As far as I can tell the ride comfort hasn't improved noticeably. Road noise is about the same, and so is diesel mpg.

The previous Michelin Agilis Camping tyres were very poor for traction. I even struggled to drive up a country lane after the local farmers had deposited mud on the surface. The van started juddering when the traction control kicked in. The plus point with those tyres was a low rate of wear with plenty of tread left after nearly 8 years. I replaced them as a precaution.

We are making exactly the same transition. I am also running on 225/75R 16 Agilis Camping.
I don't have a tag axle though 😁

I have 2 complete sets of wheels. One with summer tyres Michelin Agilis CP and one set with Michelin Agilis Alpin full winter tryres. I always think cross climates are a compromise.
The winter tyres have been great in Norway and Austria in the winter. Better in the UK too in the winter with some of our cold but wet conditions. I think they are better in heavy rain too.

They are indeed..They are all season tyres.
The differance between Cross Climates all seasons and other all seasons is that CC are a summer based tyre that are tuned for winter/all season use whereas others are winter tyres that are also turned for winter/all season.

I know you’ve done some research, but thought I’d answer your question.

Forgive the muck, it’s down to the rural location, farmers field, tractors flinging mud etc and why I brought these for my SAAB Convertible. Been excellent so far and three peeks as well, hope it helps.

Might have to zoom in 🙄

Is that really what you intended to say?🤔

Thanks for the reply but if I'm completely honest if you showed me Dunlop tyres on a coach built Bessacar I'd be none the wiser 🤣
We all start somewhere I suppose and I have of course realised after extensive reading naturally there are massive variables for the right choice for you. Great learning curve.
I think I've settled on Michelin Agilis Cross Climates. My van doesn't sit for long and they cover my all weather needs and I will change them regularly anyway.
I see there is a mix of for and against camper or van tyres and favourite makes too, it can 'drive' you mad!! 🤪
Thanks for your interest.

Please enlighen me ??
Yes that is what I intended to say)👍👍

You are suggesting that the Michelin Cross Climate tyres (that carry the 3PSF) are inferior (in terms of winter performance) than other all season tyres.

Had you said that the Michelin Cross Climate tyres are inferior to other (dedicated) winter tyres then I’ve had understood your post.

On what basis do you believe that Michelin Cross Climates (that meet the criteria for winter tyres, i.e. 3PSF) are inferior to other all season tyres?

It was a comparison between all season and dedicated winter tyres we were talking about.

And it was the comparison between CC’s and other all seasons tyres that poppycamper made (below) that I was commenting on. 👍
