Hi, I am seeking a tyre replacement, aim for quietness, comfort and wet.

Used XM2 before, hence considering XM2+, then now conti has new UC7 for the similar price range.

would like to get you all feedback, between XM2+ and UC7 which is better?

another side of my wish, best if there are alternative recommendation for cheaper price since the tyre price now is higher.

V701 has some weird squealing noise at a certain speed.

Quite annoying for me, the last time I used it.

Also high wear rate

I would got for XM2+ just due to its mileage. I think both are quite similar in wet braking.

I would support UC7 over XM2+, Michelin model is damn old already, they should come out new design or replacement already.

Hi, I went for Continental UC7.

It fits my budget and so far so good. Quiet, Comfort are good. I only can compare to the previous tyre before changed.
