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.
