Tyres for Myvi - Please recommend

[vr2turbo]

Ya, I realised that after using XM2 at 1st no rasa. But the grip was good even though
at 1 time my tyre thread left about 30% only.

I checked out the 185/60R14 XM2, only got 2 straight grooves for water channeling. Like that I prefer the C-Drive 2 got 4 grooves.....

If compared Michelin to Conti CC5'

Michelin XM2 is slightly better

But that doesnt mean that Conti CC5 is not good...

Michelin is softer, while Conti is slightly harder, thus delivers more mileage than Michelin...

On quietness, I think both almost the same low noise level....

On grip, I think Michelin is slightly better, both wet & dry...

I have XM2 AND CC5 on 2 separate cars in my household. The XM2 is definitely a better tyre by a fair margin. Mainly in aqua plane resistance, and wet performance.

The CC5 will waver on wet surface, and doesn't track as well. It really does not inspire confidence. For stock tyre size, currently the XM2 is the best tyre you can buy.

How much is the XM2 in 185/60R14 size? Heard is around RM200 per pc.....not cheap for 14"

Best usually not cheap. Yes it should be around the RM200 mark.

So far, I think the best value is still 15" size. For now.

Yes I can agree to that!

For smaller and lighter cars I think XM2 is more suitable...

For bigger and heavier cars, I think CC5 is very kau kau suitable...

In this case for Myvi, better choice is XM2 !

Yup...RM190 is real cheap bro! Mine is RM220

 

[vr2turbo]

Tyre shop did mention Michelin was giving offer that is why I ask for the price, now that you mention you got at RM220 then RM190 is really offer....

Sakit hati, bought expensive by RM120

Sakit hati, bought expensive by RM120

I was once told by a master dealer of Michelin tyre in Old Klang Road that....

Michelin Malaysia has got very strict ruling on the recommended retail price...

Any Michelin dealer proven to sell their products below the recommended retail price may
result in their dealership revoked...

Anyone got any confirmation to this?

Or its just plain bullshit by this master dealer?

Yup, true. Bridgestone also. But got way to do one. Last time bought at lower price the receipt just put less trade in even though no trade in.....
Buy from Michelin their tyres also cash, no 30 days terms...

But the cheaper price mentioned above is Michelin's offer nothing to do with dealer selling cheaper....
