I need help on choosing a suitable tyre for myvi... size 185/60R14
I'm currently using A Drive and now need to change to new tyre.

The choice I have are:
- Yokohama C Drive 2
- Michelin XM2

I drive around 100KM in daily... 70% highway and 30% city, not going to change the tyre for at least 2.5 years, please recommend which one is suitable for me?

Also, for those who using C Drive 2, is it very noisy compare to XM2?

Thanks...

my full review on c.drive 2.

AFAIK, xm2 wont beat the c.drive 2 in terms of NVH, though the dry/wet performance (especially wet) and treadwear will be much better than c.drive2. price wise they both should be around the same with xm2 typically slightly more expensive.

all that said, you'll prolly end up getting XM2 cuz i dont think there are R14 c.drive 2 around. even if YHI malaysia got bring in (doesnt matter if yokohama does produce the size or not) it will probably be damn hard to find/damn low in supply.

all c.drive 2 are mostly imported from Philippines with a small minority from Thailand. if there arent much demand for a particular size, yokohama malaysia wont bring them in.

C.drive2 available in 185/60/14 n all come from phillipines (msia market)

compare C.drive2 to XM2
i think comfort level,grip C.drive2 better
XM2 better lifespan, a better ECO(rolling resistance) tire than cdrive2
