I might be wrong but I don't think Michelin Cross Climate tyres come with an N rating. In any event, all season tyres are a compromise being not as good as summer tyres in summer or winter tyres in winter.

Because of the emergency stop distance in summer

no difference in braking IMHO. In any event have you ever done a full emergency stop in your Mac? - it'll come to stop in a ridiculously short distance.

I would be interested to know @ what ambient temperature those figures were produced at?
