Agree with you that CC6 is softer, more comfortable and quieter than XM2 but isn't that the selling point of CC6 or any other softer tyres? Softer tyres obviously will be more comfortable and quieter than harder tyres like XM2. To say that CC6 is better than XM2 due to those reasons is unfair (similar to Perodua is better than Ferrari because it has lower fuel consumption).

IMO XM2 is superior than CC6 in aquaplaning, wet grip, dry grip and cornering.

So it depends on your priority whether you prefer noise, grip (wet and dry), rolling resistance, comfort etc. It is not helpful to put such a blanket statement simply because CC6 suites your priorities.

P/s: I personally have used XM2 and CC6, and I prefer CC6 as well as I prioritise comfort and quietness but I think XM2 (and XM2+) is a superior tyre, all things considered.

I am also looking to UC6 but now budget is an issue for me. If you have used it please share your opinion here. Would be helpful for many. Thank you

Great. Thank you for the info

Depends on your priority. These are my experience of using both tyres:

CC6: a little better in noise and comfort

ES32: much better in all other aspects including wet and dry grip, aquaplanning, braking, treadwear etc.

Unless you heavily prioritise low noise and comfort and don't give a shit about all other aspects, go for ES32. A small sacrifice of slightly higher noise and little more more uncomfortable ride, you gain much more in all other aspects. That's the problem of most very specialised products such as CC6.
