Michelin XM2 is good enough for latio

K415 wet grip no good and hankook's competitve advantage of cheap price is not there anymore

Check with a few shop, pricing ranging from 125 to 145 per Pcs, make in Thailand.
Look like XM2 the only choice from Michelin..
Any brother using this tyre and have any comments. Thanks.

I'm using xm2 and like them very much. Quiet, comfy, decent wet/dry grip, good looking and they last and last. Last used xm1 and they lasted me till 70k mileage! (also not completely botak, just almost reach the wear indicator only...had to change cos used for almost 3years liao!) Xm2 seems to have the same long wear. Only need to rotate tyres every 20k instead of 10k as compared to others. Clocked 35k already on xm2 and they still look new :). Go 4 it !!!

Hi,
I've been using Hankook K415 for the past 4 years.
This is my 2nd set.
The tyres are quiet and comfort-biased.
No issues with them in dry conditions, but there's some slip when accelerating hard in the wet.
My 2 cents worth...

changed my tyre to Michelin XM2. feel better compare to the stock tyre. Come with 6 years warranty, not sure can the tyre last so long.
