Get UC6 if you are comfortable with CC6 but wants better grip.

I am in the same situation as you, driving 2014 City but the previous model. Currently on CC6 but grip is not good, not very confident on wet road. Now my rear tyres are going to wear out and I'm looking to choose between UC6 and XM2+. XM2+ is slightly expensive but it provides good mileage and fuel consumption, while UC6 is cheaper and have better grip but it will not last as long as XM2+.

You wouldn't want a tyre that last too long because it means that the tyre is on the hard side.. My previous experience with xm2 is once the tyre gets older, it is hard and noisy like hell.

This xm2+ probably improve a bit but its still an xm2 though.

My recommendation is UC6.

What's the average price for these 2 tyres?

I think for our size..the UC6 average pricing is around rm210.

XM2+ no idea because have no intention of using it.

Yes.. I know there are a wide range of selection. However, it's difficult to find a tyre shop which carries the Falken ZE310 with 185/55/16 sad.gif

This ZE410 tread looks good.

185/55R16 is an OEM size. Dont think 195/50R16 is an OEM size hence finding for choices are quite limited. You are better off with OEM size for variety.

Problem is the 185/55/16, only Honda uses this size. Very seldom other manufacturers are using this tyre size for their entry level cars here in Malaysia.

Just get Ventus Prime 3. Its Premium touring same as Michelin Primacy 4 and Bridgestone Turanza T005A.

That UC6 for me not yet reach premium touring level. Still touring level same as cc6, just more grip than cc6.

Based on feedback from tyre reviews, seems like the UC6 performs slightly better overall as compared to Ventus Prime 3.
