Review on MICHELIN Energy XM2+ 185/65 R15 88H summer by Adam Joks ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, one of the best offers.

Bought recently in March 2022. It cost a little expensive - about 4000r per tire (the dimension is slow, always more expensive). I chose from the brands of the first line and, as it turned out, there was not much to choose from, in the region of 4 Toyo rubber began to be made by Malaysia and everywhere in the reviews they write that this is a completely different rubber. Nokian Green - they write not bad, but it wears out a lot. Bridstone and Yokohama - in the furnace. Goodyear did not see much in my dimension. I don’t want Korean Kumho and Hankuk - I immediately sold my native Korean tires (although it seems that in recent years the reviews on Korean summer tires have become quite good). Yes, and Korean rubber is already partially produced in China . Summary: I bought MICHELIN Energy XM2+ in size 195/60 R15 (2022). Compared to Toyo CF2 (Japan) - a little tougher. Noise: The MICHELIN Energy XM2+ is slightly quieter. Before that, there was Bridgestone Turanza ER300 rubber (Japan) - it’s generally pointless to compare with it (Bridstone is terribly hard and noisy rubber). Now what I didn’t like . on one side of the tire there is an inscription XM2, on the other side of the same rubber XM2 +. It shouldn't be like this - don't be embarrassed. Although the stickers are everywhere XM2 +. At first I thought they brought the old XM2 model, at the price of the new XM2 +)).

Pros
  • New. The sidewall is quite thick and moderately elastic - the sidewall is not weak, that's for sure. In theory, there should be no hernias. According to the reviews of the XM2 predecessor, it should walk for a long time. Definitely - the tires are quite quiet (I have a car with mediocre sound insulation - Hyundai Matrix). Became heard not how much the road, and the engine.
Cons
  • I wouldn't say very soft. Toyo was softer. As they correctly write here in other reviews, the expression "elastic" is more suitable for XM2 +. Pits swallows but not straight so softly.

Quiet rubber at 180 km / h does not make noise, keeps on the water with dignity
