You might save a little off your fuel bill by using these low rolling resistance XM2s. It's fine for city and highway drives, provided you don't take corners at above average speeds. If you drive like I do, which is to attack corners quite frequently, the sides of the XM2s will chip off and crack, bit by bit. These tires aren't made for cornering at fast speeds because of its soft sidewalls.

It appears that the micro cracks are normal. I thought my XM2 having premature aging. I rotate/align the tyres at 20k km, could that be a factor that contribute to the cracks?
If safety is my may concern, should I purchase tyres with higher rolling resistance?
How does XM2 (RM240) perform compared with Hankook H308 (RM175) and Continental CC5 (RM210)?
I came here wondering how to ask/explain the cracks and its nicely being discussed.... If safety is my may concern, should I purchase tyres with higher rolling resistance?

I dont consider myself a fast driver, my MX2 is on a Sentra 1997 car, yes 19 years old. I dont take corners at like crazy speeds (but not slow speeds), and drive max 140kmh on highway for a few KM between home n work daily.
My front ones (or atleast been in front more often) are rather cracked, and the back ones are moderately cracked... at what point is it unsafe? Braking is still 100% fine, rain grip solid. Its 3.5(?) years old, 40k km give or take.
