Hi all, can anyone recommend what's the best tyres I can get for an axia? Budget not an issue as long its reasonable, wet grip also is important to me. Tried looking for PS4 but there's no size for 14 inch so currently looking at michelin xm2+ but saw some mix reviews about it.

Thanks all.

Don't drive like myvi driver any tyre will do

State your size right now for more accurate recommendation, I assume its same as standard maivee 175-65-14
The better ones will be these 3

Best one probably XM2 (claims of long life) but I never used this before; I used PS2 PS3 in next size upgrade 185-55-15 (which need rim upgrade). Will cost more than the below two.

Belowmentioned are pretty good tyres given the limited selection coz of the size 175-65-14:
Yokohama ES32 - https://shopee.com.my/175-65R14-YOKOHAMA-BL...5281.1988349680
or
Toyo NE03 https://shopee.com.my/175-65R14-TOYO-Nano-E...5281.5938234166

Depending on which area you are in..
KL area Jln Ipoh Kean Lee Hin is Yoko dealer
Sunway area Tek Ming is Toyo dealer
Klang area no worries sure can get one, wait 20 mins it will come else if the shop everything cannot one, go any other shop will have.

besides yoko es32 and toyo ne03, also can consider dunlop sport j5.
michelin xm imho it is overkill to put on small car like axia.. not worth investing..

Yes bro 175/65/14. The ones you suggest have good wet grip?

Budget not an issue, most importantly is wet grip. Still running on factory Silverstone, keeps slipping.

My experience on using AE50 and NE03 on 1500kg old camry 215-60-16:

Yoko ES32 got big longkang grooves. I used AE50 before. Should be similar performance between the two since the deep grooves core design is there. Wet grip above average for AE50, should be similar on ES32.

AE50 wet grip is good (above average IMO) for 100-20%, when its getting botak, drive more carefully (this is not PS3 that I can confidently use until 0% and "had to change" because 0% is illegal to drive on the road).
When it is like 10% remaining, time to change coz it starts activating ABS in traffic jam/red light stops.
The wet performance seems to be tied to the deep groove depth left - so when its almost gone, time to change ya.
Below 20% drive slowly. Above 20% can drive normally (hardly activate ABS in wet).

Toyo NE03 also wet traction A, this is quiet tyre, generally dry and wet is decent (hardly activate ABS in wet when still new) too.

Change to 185/60R14. Yoko ES32, Dunlop J5 and theres the recently released Toyo Proxes CR1. Michelin XM2 is overpriced and overrated.

Yup. Totally agree. XM2 is not worth the price. Only advantage is the long tread life. But as it ages it gets harder and noisier.

Thanks for the input guys, after doing some research I've narrow down my options to yoko es32 and Dunlop j5.

Can include Hankook Kinergy Eco2 (K435) into your mix b4 deciding. Performance wise it won't be below your choices above. Price wise it will be around J5/6 level.
