1)  Yes you are correct... old ones in front and new at the back...
2) Michelin XM1
3) Not sure...
1) go and talk to the SC guys to find out... maybe like Stitch said mounting problem...

2) I rather go to Michelin with minor top up, should be around RM170/pc...

3) no... the older tires should put in front... the used tires should be put in front...
agree with you...

you got not much choices for this size... and most of the tires at 13" and 14" is comfort tires... so the grip is not as good as Performance tires... i also have a AE101 with 5AFE engine at home... using 15" tires on 195/55 R15, the tires i use definitely perform better than those in 13" ones... that is the reason i change...
u can try out Hankook Optimo K415 also...

hmm ok bro take noted...since mine are stock engine if change to R15 does it will make it heavier since mine are 1.3 cc only

well XM1 should be good for ppl that want comfort on their tires especially on 13" and 14" tires... careful on the break-in, need about a few hundred km (should be around 500km) to wear off the coating... then it will perform... but remember to becareful on wet coz all comfort tires is not meant to perform well in wet... cheers... smile.gif

RM150++ still reasonable... i bought CC1 which is not as good as XM1 in comfort @ RM160/pc on Aug yr 09, bad purchase...
