XM2 lasted up to 115k km (6 years usage) with 2 mm residual thread depth for my Avanza.
Can XM2+ do much more than that ?

The tires will be crazy noisy by the time it almost time to change. Harder compound usually last longer also noisier.

Perfect tire for taxi drivers. 😂

More noice and less contact due to low rolling resistance.

Really not recommended for normal user expt grab or taxi.

let the product out and review in before commenting guys

I am using XM2 on one of my car. Amazing when it's new. But once pass the half way mark, it's so noisy and the grip was no where near when I was new.

i duno why so many plp. like xm2
its very expensive in its class, i mean u can get a dunlop j5, cc6, or others which performance just as good with mucj affordable price.

Yup. Did 54k km on them and changed them. Noisy and bad chipping at the tread face.

None of them last as long as XM series and Dunlop is crap on wet roads. I drove a car with these and skidded at a highway turn off. Luckily I have Takumi godlike skills to correct the car before it rams the barrier.

Another good eco tyres to be considered - toyo neo3 , I’m on 2nd sets of them already , and it’s broader than xm2.

Last long its good but advisable to change after three years, no?

Manufacturers say 10 years or 1.6 mm residual thread depth.
Other than this is just ..opinions and bias.

Assuming they don't just go for used Silverstone at sub RM100 per piece lol

Hahaha yeah, can be less than rm50/pc actually.

Yeah lol
That's crazy levels of cheap XD

I also think the same. The price I can get Toyo TR1, add a tiny bit getting Potenza R030.

I was quoted RM225 per piece for 195 55 15 of the XM2+.... Yokohama Advan Fleva only RM195, Potenza RE003 for RM190, Hankook Evo2 for RM185, Toyo TR1 for RM190...

Was quoted yoko bluearth rm140/pc for 185/60/14, including installation, labour, rubber valve, alignment, balancing. Should be good price I think.

looks like minor change in the tread pattern
