No no, what I meant is that, there are no other manual tranny diesels cars on sale at the moment, unless you're talking about pickup trucks, and I don't want one of them. Nothing to do with the Focus.
I have the same tyres and so far there's still quite a bit of thread left. 39,000 km, two rotations done. I'm guessing it should last until 60,000 km.

When they're worn I'm planning to change them to Michelin XM2. I'm just a bit concerned about the Ducaro's grip in the wet, especially on a car without ABS and traction control.

manual diesel...

Ada geh... you call those AP fellar import one BMW 320d Manual for you.

I'm at around 30,500km. Did the alignment + rotation. From the back to front. Apparently, both tyres at the back- sort of 'hilang bunga' faster than the front part (still berbunga-bunga). Mind to explain why Michelin XM2? Better control?

Michelin is renowed for its road comfort and quietness and yet durable.

Weird. On a front wheel drive the front tyres should wear faster. Anyway, reading about the XM2 it seems like a decent set to upgrade to. Good grip and not noisy. I'm more concerned about the former, though I've never experienced loss of control or skidding on my Ducaros before.
+1

So, i guess michelin ranks 1st, followed by yokohama c drive2 then goodyear? I'm looking at the price list thread, probably wouldn't differ that much. Speed Line Rahman Putra seems to offer a better deal at rm168 (as of Jan 12). Other than that, definitely a genuine and honest tyre shop is what i'm looking at. No matter how cheap the deal can be, if they're not honest doing business with you, what's the point right? Hmmm

saga 1.3 executive got promotion end by 31/5 next week.
salesman called me again. want to know whether how many of your saga has drumbrake problem?

Very many. Why your salesman wanna know?

yes i must admit michelin XM2 is suitable for drivers that need comfort and durability..however quietness in XM2 doesnt stay long...as for me..i used XM2 since october 2011 and recently the tires quietness is not effiecient already...but consider saga has bad sound proffing i wont blame 100% to the tire itself...

The Michelin XM2s are definitely very good tires, but please don't expect miracles. At the end of the day, it's still more of an economy/comfort tire and for the Saga, they are only 14 inches. Not 17 inch low profile performance tires.

It's grip in both wet and dry are much better than the stock Silverstone M3s. E.g. in torrential rain, I only dared to go around 50 - 60 on the Silverstones. On the Michelins, I could push it to 80- 90.
