Michelin XM2

[Aloytryp]

Today, replaced 4 existing XM1 with 4 XM2 at Hawk Tayar [JB Southern City].

4pcs XM2 185/65/R15 88H, total RM1,030 less trade-in RM130 = RM900 + RM2.65 [6% GST] = RM902.65

The trade-in was given, without me asking, maybe because the XM1 was previously purchased from them.

Price include tubeless valves, alignment, high-speed balancing for 2 front tires.

* they are nice to oblige my request to remove the rear brake drums and blow off the brake dust.

* they no longer accept Genting Worldcard to earn Worldcard reward points. It is ok. Already satisfied with their service.

 

For reference, my XM1 was installed in 6/11/2008, and covered 46,900 km, threads estimated 1-2 mm above the thread wear indicator.

Changed to new tires for peace of mind, especially on NSH.

Wow, you use about 4 years.

Wow, you use about 4 years.

 

 

My tires also last abt 4 yrs but my mileage higher at abt 70k km.

 

I take care of my tires like regular 4 tires balance n rotate every 10k km. Alignment regularly done. Wear is very even on whole tire thread.

 

I pump tires correct pressure (not very high) every week.

 

All this helps to extend life of tires.

Hi all, any updated price in jb for XM2 tires?

[Nisse]

Changing to XM2 195/60R15 now at Michelin CMY Impian Amas. Price is RM 1,155 includes balancing+alignment+valves.

 

Tires are quite new, manufactured on 0713.

 

Unfortunately no trade-in on my 3-yr old XM1 usage about 40,000km.

[CamholicX]

anyone wanna to go together to JB to change tyre?

[Rmteamrims]

is this XM2 really much cheaper in Malaysia that it justify traveling across the causeway to get your tyres changed?

[CamholicX]

cheaper by 30% - based on what the bros here stated

well base on the 195/60/15 XM2, you can get it in Singapore at approximately the same price with installation. You just have not found the right location.

 

So, I am always puzzled why consumers cross the causeway to purchase tyres that is not MADE IN MALAYSIA.

 

If you need the 195/60/15 XM2 I can gladly point you in the right direction LOCALLY.

 

If what you said is true that there is a 30% price difference, I will be in Malaysia right now buying 1,000pieces per sell-able size and trucking them into Singapore.

Some people believe in paying a bit extra for peace of mind.

Sometimes better to just change in Spore than save a few dollars.
