Personally with the latest tire test results in 2022 and want best value:performance ratio tires in local market, i would recommend Falken ZE310 which is available here.

Michelin is kinda overprice nowadays and the given performance is not top notch unless they updated to new model, if not i would prefer to spend the money else where

If into wet related performance, even higher range primacy 4 tires also fair not better compare to Falken 310

Primacy 4 (More higher range compare to XM2+)
Wet Braking 10th +2.8 M 93.89%
Wet Handling 13th -1.9 Km/H 97.46%
Wet Circle 13th -0.54 m/s 91.99%
Straight Aqua 5th -1.8 Km/H 97.96%
Curved Aquaplaning 14th -0.7 m/sec2 85.57%

ZE310 (Almost all wet related category beats Michelin)
Wet Braking 3rd +0.6 M 98.62%
Wet Handling 8th -1.4 Km/H 98.13%
Wet Circle 3rd -0.13 m/s 98.07%
Straight Aqua 1st 100%
Curved Aquaplaning 5th -0.32 m/sec2 93.4%

Bro, if possible dont simply change tires because it is cheap. Any changes will impact related to comfort, handling, fuel consumption & worse safety related if the vehicle got traction control or ABS which calculate the wheel spin speed during emergency.

A lot of tire shop wont tell you this, but a set of tires at least 40k~60k km average on the road. If want to sell and change other tires once your tire roll on the road consider used and 50% of the value is going to loss unless you sell it your own self. Besides that, going wider tires also sometime will increase the fuel consumption, if every 1km increase MYR0.01 fuel, your losing at least RM400~600 of extra fuel payment over the tire life span which is way over the savings when buying new tires.

Unless you knew the consequences then just go for it.

Btw i got group member using 225/55R17 & 225/60R17 on Subaru Xv/Forester got good feedback compare to previous OEM Continental MC5 tires. Better comfort and confidence driving it in the rain, if your been using UHP or performance tire in the past u might feel the drop in performance as ZE310 is still comfort base touring tires.

In the comparison list Primacy 4/ XM2+ all these are also normal touring tires, if want higher performance UHP range need upgrade to like Michelin PS4/PS5 or Falken FK510/520 tires.
