Just change all 4 tires on my car to Michelin xm2. My previous set was 1 pair of cc5 for the rear and premium contact 2 for the front.

Since its still a new tire, i can't judge its grip performance yet. But what i have notice is, The tire is really comfortable. It makes your car floats like a vios. I also felt that my car is much more lighter and eager to accelerate with a very little amount of throttle input. This might be because of their claimed lowered rolling resistant. What also impressed me is the noise level. CC5 claimed to be a silent tire. but Xm2 brings silent to a whole new level. Cruising at 110 on my previous set of tire, was damn torturous. Adding to the noise, is my straight flow muffler and a high gear ratio. So cruising on the highway is quite a hell for me. After changing to Xm2. I went on a cruise on LDP, to my surprise. I can barely hear the tire. And cruising at 110 now is the sweet spot for my car, since its still silent enough to cruise and is within the speed limit . The XM2 also soaks up dips on the highways very well.


well, this is my review after running this tire for 100km. Will update more after 1k km.
