If typical drive, mostly in dry I think cc6 ok. Super quiet, more quiet n comfortable compared to xm2.
But dry grip xm2 slightly better but wet xm2 to me a lot better. If there is pooling of water in highway xm2 tends to cut through whereas cc6 will wobble

Just changed cc6 from xm2. I feel exactly what u feel. Very quite and very comfortable. Fyi, I use xm2 for 2 cycle, 2013 and 2016.

Xm2 clearly a good product back then, but not now and no update from michelin for a very long time. I wish they product xm3.

As for now, I really happy with CC6. Fresh in the market and price cheaper than aging xm2 somemore which sway my loyalty from michelin. Lol.

My rating.

In term of comfort and quite, I feel cc6 among the best in the market. Just need to slow down and be cautious more during rain. But that is expected from pure comfort oriented tyre.

Hi bro, review of your CC6 please.

In terms of noise, comfort, stability at highways, wear compared to xm2.
*
Comfort definitely better than xm2, Noise marginally better. Stability 120kmh, almost the same, wear I think xm2 better(last longer)

Not long after I bought cc6, michelin introduce xm2 replacement which is xm2 plus. Dunno why they dont name it xm3, as xm2 already long exist in the market. then they old put plus in the back. lol.

will try xm2 plus after my cc6 finish.

michelin only improve rubber compounds to make XM2 more durable in term of worn, visibly there is no different in between XM2 and XM2+
*
Wargh, they profit so much from xm2, but only do marginal for product update. lol.

Now I may need to reconsider back my decision.

I think the xm2+ different from xm2 is the rubber compound only, too many issues with premature cracks on xm2.

Thanks for the update bro

Btw, do you pump more air into the cc6 compared to the recommended air pressure?
*
I usually put 30psi for my city. Due to honda hard suspension, cannot put more. I try put 31 to 34 b4. Ride become very bumpy.

30psi is recommended?

How's the cornering? Not those fast corners, like those sweeping bends on highway speed? 

I asked a tyre shop, they said uc6 got 195/60/15. Couldn't find the tyre size in their website also

Ya..30psi is recommended..

Cornering quite good. but never do very high sweeping bends.

Get UC6 like that. uc6 is higher than cc6, but u do need to sacrifice a lil bit comfort.

Cannot order?. sometimes shop can take order. But expect to wait a bit long. now covid i am not sure. last time I order re003 on my other cars and since the tyre is very new, they need to order from supplier. but now not sure.
