Just change my Honda city gm6 new set of XM2 plus at RM180 per pcs. Previouly Gooduear GT3 is overall better then this, In dry or wet condition. Only good thing is more confort and silent, others is underperforming as my opinion.

Been on the car almost 9 years. Wow!

Short intro: toyota Mark X is a JDM toyota basically a Lexus IS250, same power, chassis, handling dynamics, so on... So its stock wheels are ONLY 16 inch makes no sense.
I bought these new when I was just getting into cars, there I only knew michelin is the best tyre manufacturer but I didnt knew tyres have models! Hence I settled for these, instead of michelin PS3 PS4 which are the best ones.

Region: tropical Asian, only sun and rain.

Dry grip and brake were excellent when new, and still quite good now near their end of life. Dry cornering is also pretty confident.
Wet grip and brake was only good when new, but it is getting scarier nearing their end of life.
When wet, it is easy to skid during U-turns or sharp turns, it is fun when I do it on purpose but dangerous as I had unwanted slips when carrying my family for a couple of times.

Handling is okay, consistent throughout all its life.
Road noise gets progressively louder and more obnoxious a long its life.
Comfort is good, wear is excellent consider I've done 40km/25mil in 2 years.

Overall, wouldn't get these again, good for economy cars (city cars, grocery getters), but not on a heavy RWD sedan

Bought new set of 18X8.5 wheels and are going Hankook V12 Evo2 next.

Review for Michelin Energy XM2 size 185/65/R15 on a 1994 BMW 325i sedan
I find these tyres almost perfect for average daily driving
high comfort and low road noise
impressive tire wear (22500 miles so far and plenty of tread left)
impressive braking performance during emergency stop situations
just dont exect UHP handling and grip levels, these are real world daily tyres
my only concern are the soft sidewalls in potholes, had to replace one
I would buy them again...

First, toyota markx is a Jdm car, sedan 2.5 V6 Rwd, 212hp 260nm, so the oem wheels of 16X7.5 with 215/60R16 doesn't make sense

When i got the car i didnt know crap about specific tyre models, was thinking michelin is one of the best, hence settled for xm2.

*I live in tropical country, no snow but rains a lot

When dry, grip is alright, handling is good,not sure about road feedback but comfort was also good, tyre noise increases with mileage.
Not the most powerful car, but at roundabouts or U-turns, if i floor it the car would slip and do small drifts, but flooring it in a straight line never slips.

In wet, if driving defensively it'd be normal, never experienced aquaplaning or slides but, in turns, roundabouts, u turns, if go pass 30% throttle over 3k rpm the car will break loose, have not had an accident yet but it's not fun

Now bought a set of 18x8.5 wheels, looking at Hankook v12 235/50R18

Having covered 20k on these tyres I can now say how brilliant I have found these tyres. Grip is good in both wet and dry conditions. Rolling resistance and road noise good as well. I would be expecting to change them by now from previous makes purchased but I am sure these will cover a further 15k. When they need replacing, these Michelins will be my first choice.

Got this tires when it was first launched in 2013 and the tires is due for change. Over 45k km and not advisable to be driven for anything longer than 30km journey or in the rain. Tires were superb, wears really really well with rotation and balancing done every 6-months. Only complain is the softer side wall that doesn't provide good handling, and suitable as a tire for commuting.

Definitely worth the price. The best among all the brand.

The grip of the tyres in wet and dry is well within the expectation for a ordinary sedan vehicle (not driving like a street racer). This is by FAR the best ever tyre that I fitted to any of my cars. It exceeded my highest expectations. Traveled 75 000miles (120 000km) and still have 4mm tread left, still quiet as can be and still grips wet or dry. Amazing Tyre thanks Michelin.

Having been trying out this types for at least a year , my verdict ,it is another of those non exciting tire, no handling pleasure to mention in wet or dry but its safe to use. The only thing I can think off is it wear off slowly and it can last you a while without having to change new tire. It is ok for city drive ,you will not feel any difference. But if driving 320km in 1 trip on twisty road ! My recommendation is a big no! A Asy2/3 or PS3/4 or Re002/3 will definitely make u feel more happy. I seriously not consider buying them again cos it is also not cheap.

Another excellent product from Michelin. It is soft and comfortable. Very good touring Tyres. I have so far used them for approx 16,000Kms and still looks brand new. It seems like that these will go on forever, Extremely good investment. I was a hardcore Bridgestone Turanza fan. Couldn't find a set from the Bridgestone brand for my tire size requirement. Based on the positive reviews on the internet, I switched to Michelin . I will stay with this product for sure.
