Hi all, I'm considering whether should choose XM2+ or CC6, size of my tyre is 175/65R14.

Any users of these tyres? Mind share your feedback?

Also any trusted tyre shops recommend around Kepong charging decent price?

My vote goes to XM2+ . XM2 gave me 115k km usage .

Besides these 2 tyres, I highly recommend you to get Goodyear ATM2.

Michelin tyres are overpriced due to the heavy marketing.

CC6 although comfort but quite dangerous in the wet especially during highway drive.

are you sure? tyres are rated up to 70k at most..

My XM2 did 95K, changed once its down to 3mm.XM2+ Promised to have a longer life, yet to try since I manged to change a new set of XM2 at a discount before XM2+ was introduced to the market.

for my case cc6 doesnt hold much longer. been used for 1 year plus (travel back pen-kel-pen every week). i kena last week at titiwangsa (6am). now moving to xm2+.

Been a Michelin XM2 user since 2014. 1st set last 100k km, still not reaching the wear indicator level, and could last another 20k. But still decided to change to a new set in 2016. Second set of XM2 also yield same result after using 100k km. Now on 3rd set after change in 2019. It is a proven product which perform amazingly during rain even after 100k km.

Wow, you really push to the limit. Psychologically I still decided to change to a new set after reaching 100k km of usage even though it is still not reaching the wear indicator line.

That Goodyear ATM2 model is not available for TS' tyre size.

Anyway, TS try to get Dunlop J5 or Bluearth ES32. Both have better wet grip than CC6 but doesn't cost as much as XM2+. But hey, if you do have the money, go for the XM2+.

No, it wasn't at the limit yet .
The 115k km was with a residual thread depth of about 2-2.5 mm .
According to tyre manufacturers , I could have gone on further to residual 1.6 mm thread depth .
Tyre age then was about 6.5 years . It is good up to 10 years , according to tyre manufacturers .

Avoid CC6, go for XM2+ instead

Does the XM2 still have the thread rubber cracking problem? Looks like small tiny chucks break of the edge of the threads.

CC6 quite a lot of bad review. Even a tyre shop recommend me against CC6 last time.

I'm using XM2+ now, good economic tyres (except for the price). Good wet braking, quieter, but doesn't perform so well when taking fast corners - which is expected of economic tyres.

I had a bad experience with wet braking using Continentals

XM2+ can be cheap depends which shop

doesn't perform so well when taking fast corners +1

Yes, some tiny 2-3 mm long but shallow 'cracks' on the edge of 70,000 -75,000 km XM2 tyres .
But that is of no concern to me for subsequent 40,000 km or more usage .

dem i thinking to change to cc6 but after read all this and bad reputation on cc6 aiseh..change my mind la...always with family so cannot go for bad tyre especially on braking...

Cc6 if you are aunty/uncle who like to drive in comfy slow driving style

Xm2+ if u re auty or uncle but still comfy but some times still live in their 40+

Wow looks like your tyre had burst?!

Any shop you know selling xm2+ at a decent price around Kepong or Setapak?

Recommend shop bro kat klang valley

Agreed on CC6
Used it on two cars

It’s quiet and comfortable
But under-average dry grip, terrible wet grip

Driving in the wet always scares me

Never tried XM2+, but I used XM2 previously and it’s definitely long lasting with slightly better performance compared to CC6

Wet grip isn’t great either but not as terrible as CC6

Currently on Pirelli P1 Cinturrato. They’re not bad. Decent noise levels, decent grip

Not sure how it compares to XM2+

How long have you used your XM2? Heard that this tyre can last really long but it’s more noisier.

You agree with other reviews saying that cc6 easy to get bulge and tyre too soft?

Previously I've used XM2. When it's new, very nice comfy and quiet feeling. After 2 years, the tyre became harder and a lot noisier.

Imagine going through rumble stripes, the whole car will shake like mad.

Now I am on CC6. Been using it for 2 years already and it's still soft, comfy and quiet. Going through the same rumble stripes is not an issue as the tyre will absorb most of the impact.

As I seldom drive fast, I'll still to CC6 since it offers comfort and noise level much better than XM2.

If you want more of a budget performance, then XM2+ may suit you.

Getting bulge ? That is obviously a clear indication of manufacturing defect and hence of poorer quality .

Got it, thanks.

Not sure but it seems like CC6 is the best option overall, not much option for tyre with this size.

XM2+ can last longer but was much harder hence sacrificing comfort.

CC6 may not perform as well as XM2+ but it has better comfort, I don’t drive my car to the limit or very very fast so it shouldn’t be a problem. At least it’s much better than the Silverstone that comes with the car when I bought it new.

What car are you driving btw?

Axia 1st gen.

google them. torque legend auto garage...they have good prices for tyres.. only they are in batu caves...

Thank u bro

Thanks a lot Batu Caves ain’t that far thou.

Using CC6 on my Axia and XM2 on my Myvi.
CC6 more comfy and less noise while XM2 bit harder tyre and alittle more noise then CC6.
Grip wise both dry and wet better XM2.
XM2 then more milage the more noise.

i'm looking at XM2+

i would say avoid CC6.. its rubbish..
can't do well in dry and wet..
and i had an accident with it.. and i sold off the car after few months

Can consider new choice in the market, Hankook Eco 2 (K435). Better traction in dry and wet than XM2. Save some money at the same time.

You involved in an accident? Your new car or old car?

go for PS4. XM2+ only if you drive max 120km/h. More than this the handling is bad

that car was an old car..
can't stop in time with CC6

its quiet initially..
comfortable, yes..
other than that, no for me.
i wont touch this brand again

So now you're still on stock Hankooks or changed already?

hankook, only 48k..

i intend to change when it hit 60k..
the thread still look thick

Previous XM2 with 115K km.
Presently XM2 has about 75K km, and going .

wow.. you really make good use of the tire..



safe and good?

In full compliance with Tyre Manufacturers recommendation and world's national authorities requirements .

You're using that tyre? Mind share some feedback on that tyre?

Yes, using it now on all 4 corners. Size is 185/65R14 and done 10k km. But I am trying not to derail this thread.

My comment on this tyre is in post #11 in the link below.

https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/4913463

I had been on XM2 then CC6. After 20k km XM2 is noisy and hard.

CC6 is good, much more comfortable and quieter. I didn't experienced any grip problem also. 110km/h cornering on highway during heavy rain also ok. Maybe my car is heavy, 1200kg Prius C.

Just my tires lifespan generally short, around 40k km only reach minimum thread. Can't imagine you guys with 100k km. Wow

My experience is the same as you.. moving from xm2 to cc6. XM2 is more expensive, harder and not as comfortable than cc6 although thread wear can last a lot longer. Grip wise, xm2 is better but if you are not into spirited driving, CC6 does its job as intended.

I will take CC6 anytime over the XM2 because it offers better overall package in terms of price, comfort and quietness.

Conclusion, CC6 is an uncle tyre for drivers who wants comfort, and silent.

XM2 are for those who wants branding, slight better grip, longer threar wear and don't mind sacrificing comfort and road noise.

I was just replaced to XM2+ at last month. I don't think it is noisy but it gives me a safety feels. Especially during rainy weather and driving on wet road. Last time I am not using Michelin, I was using Viking before. That tyres give me feel unsafety because the wet grip is really bad.

Another reason why I upgrade to Michelin because is B-segment car maintenance fee is cheap. My car is just a 15-inch rim, even Michelin is the most expensive but the price is still acceptable. I replace 4pcs Michelin for RM1,000, by comparing to 4pcs Toyo Tires for RM720 or 4pcs Goodyear for RM760, it is just RM240~RM280 different.

OMG, at first i thought not my tyre problem. But now i kinda believe your said.

Similiar situation before accident using CC6 also, had an accident with it (but still don believe because of the tyre, lol) , planning to sold now.
