Review on MICHELIN Energy XM2+ 175/70 R14 88T summer by Micha Zikowski ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I like the product, the quality didn't let me down.

purchased 205/55/R16 tires created in 2022 six weeks for a Skoda Octavia Tour 1.6 akl Skoda Octavia Tour 2022. Front suspension silents were changed, and BRIDGESTONE TURANZA T001 was used. and really hard oak on my car, blowing them down to 1.8. Was considering this MICHELIN ENERGY XM2+ or the BRIDGESTONE TURANZA T005 as a replacement. Shoe: Its sidewall makes it impossible to tell if 1.5 or 2.0 pressure is present. (Micro creasing at 1.5 and 2.0 on the front axle) Typical manometers are used for the experiments. Feelings: It rides softer, more elastic, but still firm, at 2.0 front and back. But unlike on Turanza T001 at 2.0, the teeth don't knock as much. however, softens well and does not swallow little pits. I haven't yet heard it make any noise. This means that, in theory, a big tire with decent rubber may penetrate armor, but you shouldn't anticipate softness on a rigid suspension. I've traveled 100 km in total so far. I'll add a call if it's doable later. I purchased it, and while it was still chilly in the Crimea, I was looking for Poland's manufacture, but I did so in 2022. Cold rubber +5 +11 humming, a little dubeet. It is obvious that the rubber is soft, while being plump, when you drive it to +15. When it's over +40 in the shade, I'm now concerned that it might float away from the Crimean asphalt.

Pros
  • enduring thick elastic sidewall
Cons
  • Expensive. Not at all wow impact, just typical for a stiff suspension.
