Ah~ha, Rascal Stitch is here too

Hi guys

I'm looking forward to change my car's shock absorbers and tyres this coming weekend. I'm driving old Wira 1.6 Aeroback.

For the shock, I got offered Kayaba, Sakata and Sachs from the workshop that I usually visit, from few forumers feedback, I will take Sachs since most recommending it

As for the tyres, I been using Yokohama A-Drive now and was quoted RM175 / piece from the workshop including balancing and alignment. Rascal Stitch then recommending me Michelin XM1 which a slightly top-up from the price I was quoted for the A-Drive.

I'm just seeking more opinion here, which would be a better pick for me? A-Drive or XM1? I frequently drive on the highways.

I called my formen and he advised me not to take XM1 due to the (yin yang) patterns which will not convenient if wanted/needed to switch tyres or exchanging sides next time. How well should I take his advise?
