Hi, Bro Camrytron,

 

I changed mine on 5th.Dec.2011, from Yokohama A-drive to XM2 (185x65R14) taken good advises from MCF bro's, by now already runs in to 3800km due to my long distant travelling.

My honest feedbacks are as follows;

1) FC from 9~10km/L improves to 10~11km/L (same old driving habits)

2) All Speakers sounds clearer listening with my favorite musics & songs (never do anything with my car Hi-Fi)

3) My ABS indicator seem like out-of-order, never even lit-up at all. (previously with Yokohama A-drive the ABS lit constantly especially wet roads, did sent to AD for checks but was told Nothing Wrong with ABS sensor)

4) Notice all 4 Tyres pressure stabilize and maintained at 35psi constantly. (tyre shop adviced to check regularly till next X-rotate at 8000km)

5) Driving 90~100km/h into SLE towards PIE sharp cornering bend, just lift right leg decelerate speed without japping my brakes, and took the turn with surprising....no tyre noise.

 

Note: I'm not Michelin promoter, but a happy end-user. Did you send your buddy the cheque ?

Zoom99,

 

Currently, I am using Falken 912. Seems not very good in wet condition.

 

I have a few tyres in mind and after reviewing so many sites and forums. And I am looking for quiet and comfort ride and safer on a wet road condition. Seems like Fongmy has stated that XM2 is quiet.

 

1) MC XM2

2) MC Primacy LC

3) BS GR90

4) GY Eagle LS2000 II

5) GY Eagle Excellence

 

I also need to look around to see where to buy them. Any recommendation?

[Zoom99]

I'm a happy driver with selection of GR-90, after comparison with XM2 & GR-90.

 

As the price is the same, I decided on GR-90.

Reason: Jpan vs Thai made(personal preference)

 

It's at a shop at Jln Buroh ind park, Pandan Loop.

Sorry can't remember th name.

Hi, Bro Guangster,

Yes, it's pretty quiet and comfortable running over hump and shallow pot holes, I feel the wet road grips is satisfactory as I slow down around 90~100km/h on highway in wet weather, surprisingly happy with improved FC with my difficult to change heavy right foot driving habit too.

You may PM me to meet up sometime, somewhere to test drive my car for a feel and comparison with your other brands in mind before deciding what is your preference.

Cheers.

Hi, Bro Camrytron,

Drove out from AD and changed from stock tyres to Yokohama A-drive all the time(now my car 5.5yrs old), continued with Yokohama A-drive due to effortable pricing

Recently found good comments from MCF XM2 posting's and phone call my regular Taman Johor Michelin Tyre Shop for XM2 quotation, surprised to compare with good savings from Singapore Yokohama A-drive and XM2 pricing immediately traded-in my 85% threads old tyres at higher value and switched to XM2 with good confidents in it's Brand name

The tyre shop foreman Ah Lim told me to pump 35psi(my normal regular pumps setting is 220kpa) from New tyre untill 8000km X-rotation(guessing maybe still within Michelin Warranty to detect early mfg.defects?)

Your ones....definitely expensives lah !! Big Man, Big Car, Big Tyre, Big 5-match sticks Watch, Signing Big Cheque for buddy, don't worry I'll not borrow $$$ from you and don't deny anymore.

Your stressful buddy will recovers soon with good mood holding your cheque, I'm hoping he just continueing keeping it for happy mood and pray he'll not to go to the Bank, if not he'll suffer bad to worst relaps

i'm currently using yoko DNA db which left abt 20%.

looking for comparable silent tyre and narrow down to mich XM2

anyone tried both before? need more feedback before i decide

[Gbsm]

Need to change my tires... narrowed down to Michelin XM2 and Pirelli P7. Anyone can highlight the pros and cons of these two? thanks much.

 

[Vincent1601]

just changed mine at JB 195/55/15 @ 275rm each (about 120sg) with wheel balancing and alignment, nitrogen gas.

compare to previous tyre Falken 912, XM2 is much more quiet and less rolling. Braking more efficient, more steady when cornering.

If both are comparable in specs, you may wish to consider that P7 is weak in rim protection. Have not used XM2, so can't comment.

Hi Vincent, Kelpie, thanks for the feedback.. There are lots of good feedback abt XM2 in the internet.. But puzzled that there is nothing about the P7.

[Zhizunbao]

Just changed 3-yr old Michelin MXV8 to XM2 -

Price S$140 each 195/60/R15

Now can engine noise is noticeable - used to be tyre noise louder.

Could you share which workshop you change to XM2? Thanks!

[Skyum]

My 195/65/R15 cost $135 at Soh Bros. handling lighter than the previous XM1 - also quieter, marginally faster pickup and smoother. 3 refill so far and average 20-40 km extra travelling per refill.
