Hi.  Anyone know what is the current price for Michelin XM1 and XM2 of 195/65R15 in Penang ? Is it good tyre on dry and wet surface ? Or any other model of tyre that perform very well on dry and wet surface ?

Is not a good tyre for me. I am using 195/55/15 XM2 on my waja, not good in dry nor wet... it doesn't grip. I remember one drizziling night, and I was going down very slowly on a slope in a open space parking lot, when I hit the break, I can hear the tyre skid and still moving all the way down the slop. Luckyly the car infront is moving, if not I would have bang the car which I can't do anything at all to avoid.

On dry, when I drive fast on corner, I can hear the tyre skiding sound..."eeeee" . To me, not recommended to use XM2.

Now I using XM1 195/65/15 , I can feel the same things with you . The grip not so good because going down hill and suddenly emergency brake and it cannot stop completely and still moving .

Which tyre is more recomemded ? I plan to upgrade to Michelin PS3 but it didn't have the size I want. If not mistaken , it only have 195/55/15 but I just want to change the two of the rear tyre.

I was using PS3 195/55/15 before using XM2. PS3 is much much much very much better than XM2. It really grips on to the road... During raining, I can still drive fast on highway with confident. And when is dry, doing fast cornering is fun with this PS3. However, because of it grips, your steering will feel heavy, u will feel a lot of different when making a slow u-turn, but is a good thing, as what people said, "you can feel the road". The reason I change from PS3 to XM2 (and I normally change all 4 tyre at one time) is because PS3 tyre is noisy compare with XM2.
