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+.

XM2+ can be cheap depends which shop

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

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+

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 .

What car are you driving btw?

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

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.
