To me, XM2 not worth the money. When I installed it end Dec 12, the tyres were a bit bumpy. It started to get noisy after i clock in 500km. Can't really corner well on both wet and dry. Skid once when cornering in rain. Braking on dry also okok only. The only good thing I will say about this tyre is it can really last. Already clocked about 30k km (done twice rotation - once at 10k km and another time at 15k km). Still got about 40% groove. Given the way I drive, I think this last long enough. Used D01 and ZE912 last time it can't even let me go pass 28k km with 2 rotations too.
