He's asking the improved version XM2+, I think yours the previous XM2?
Supposed XM2+ improved compound should be much better I guess...

Oops , yes mine is XM2 .
Someone here quoted sources saying XM2+ is said to be quieter than XM2 , so I would speculate its rubber compound is softer with shorter tyre life .
Maybe someone can enlighten us XM2+ wear index ??

Just changed to XM2+ 185/60/R15. Threadwear 420.
Initial impression it's superb quiet, much quieter than another "green eco saving" tyre.

XM2+ 185/60R14. Just changed all 4 tyres at RM 170 each, inclusive of balancing at Klang. I was quoted RM 180 during Oct.

Not sure if this price is cheaper than most. Just FYI.

Based on my past experience, when changing 4 tyres at 1 go, this shop usually quote the price inclusive of balancing, alignment & new rubber valve for each new tyre.

However, my car didn't need alignment this time after test drive. Partly because last balancing & alignment was done not long ago (less than 1k km), and I use back my own metal valve.

I know many tyre shops use the following technic to attract customer at borderline of dishonest way:
1. Very cheap tyre with hidden cost. Cut our throat at balancing / alignment / etc.
2. Must adjust chamber or else can't do alignment properly. In most cases, this is bullshit. smile.gif

But this shop is not 1 of them, at least in my opinion for so many years. If you're really keen to change this month (since price may fluctuates monthly), I can help you to find out the nett price. You may PM me your tyre specification and other services you want to include.
