I am a great fan of the Michelin Cross Climates. By law in this part of the world you must have winter tyres (3 peak/snowflake) fitted or have chains in the car from 15 November to 15 April. I do have a set of chains for the Morgan but I doubt very much that I would ever fit them, it probably is not even suitable for wire wheels. On the Morgan I find the performance of the Cross Climates more tha adequate and they grip exceptionally well in the wet. My only criticism is that they have a slight tendency to slip a little when under hard acceleration from a standstill when turning. An example of this would be after a stop at a T intersection and turning onto the through road. More a matter of tyre squeel than anything else. I tend to run 1.8 bar in the rear so it may be that I have the pressure too high.

We also have them fitted to the VW Polo. On that they just simply do everything that they should and the grip under braking in the wet is fantastic.

I know Calum had one fitted to the rear of "Red Three". When I asked him about it he said that he was quite happy with it and it simply worked. He was certainly able to make it work on the Caramulo hill smile
