Strangely enough, I live in Aberdeen and have a Cross Climate on the three wheeler!
It's been good in the cold and in the hot; had temperatures into the mid thirties Celsius last summer on the Autobahn and while crossing the South of France and Spain on my way to Caramulo and it just worked, haven't found any obvious weak spots and will almost certainly stick another one on when it's worn out. Saying that, if I lived in the South of France I would probably get something cheaper without the cold rating. I'm not convinced that the three wheeler is particularly sensitive to back tyre choice; the only tyre I didn't like was the Sportmax, and that was no problem till I drove it in winter conditions and it just wasn't interested in sticking to anything.
