You don't get what you pay for

Comments about Latitude Diamaris:

The tires are the most expensive on the market yet the treadlife is constantly getting worse. I bought 4 set of these tires and each time the tread life has gotten worse each time.
I finally said enough and bought another brand for less money and longer tread life.

Comments about Latitude Diamaris:

I am driving around 4-5000 km per month in highway and low quality twisty roads.
This tires are excellent, great braking, good comfort, quiet on the road. The steering is not perfect but стилл is very good.
I have 80000 km on the clock now and I am changing them with new ones this week. Considering the high wear this tires worth every cent

ON MY SECOND SET OF DIAMARIS TIRES

Pros

Comments about Latitude Diamaris:

TRIED THE PERELLI TIRES WHICH ROAD WELL. GOOD TIRE BUT WERE WORN OUT IN NO TIME. BOTH SETS OF THE Latitude Diamaris FEEL GREAT ON THE ROAD AND LAST VERY WELL.
I WILL SAY THAT THE GOODYEAR HP GO FOR EVER ON MY 95 CORVETTE SUMMER DRIVER.
BUT I AM A FAN OF THE Latitude Diamaris AND WOULD STRONGLY CONSIDER THEM AGAIN ON THE PORSCHE CAYENNE S.

1 Exceeding the safe legal speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed

2 Based on third-party dry braking test results versus Pirelli Scorpion Zero™ tires, Continental 4x4 Sport Contact™ tires, Bridgestone® Turanza® ER30 tires and Dunlop® SP Sport 9000 tires.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

OE [Vehicle Manufacturer] Sidewall Marking: * = BMW
OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: AU = Audi, BM = BMW, LR = Land Rover, VW = Volkswagen

* Passenger sizes used in Light Truck/SUV applications have reduced load capacity. This will differ from the maximum load branded on the tire sidewall.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

Government UTQG Ratings do not apply to light truck sized tires.

XL = Extra Load

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

H-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130
