I beg to differ that Michelin’s extra premium is for name sake only. The XM2 or XM2+(Much improved) have easily better treadwear than CC6 or GY assurance. I have did over 100k km with the Xm2 but have change it due to 5years aging, still easily another 20k to be go before reaching the TWI. The CC6 and GY assurance running 50k mileage already reach TWI. So the value proposition from this Michelin entry series tyre comes from its longevity and lasting performance.

Another bro testimonial to back up my claim. Yeah I’m aware of the warranty but for me safety is something I will never compromise. At 100k mileage and 5 years of use, can feel the rubber hardening. After all, it’s already well worth in my opinion.
