Michelin XM1 tyre

[silverwave]

Anyone uses this tyre? My car front 2 tyres and back two tyres has been fixed in opposite ways. If u do not understand what i mean, the outer part of my front tyre now is the inner part of my behind tyre. I need to know which way is correct.

In the pics are my front two tires. Look at the tyre thread. two double line thread is outside, but the single line thread is inside for the front. The behind is the opposite.

can get a photo of the side? especially those wordings. We can help you better like that. The pattern doesn't seems much familiar to me. I can try and help with sidewall infos on it.

the rear? should be the same as front. i think the tyre shop didn't know how to fit michelin tyres

yes, confirm they fix wrongly coz my dad's car is using the same tyre and it is fitted same as my rear. i think the shop owner needs a new spectacles. :regular_smile: thx a lot guys for ur help.

btw, is there michelin tyre for 195/55/16? i know its a bit weird size but bridgestone turanza has it.

some tyres does not shown the indicator on the tyre wall. michelin xm1 is one of them. maybe larger size might have, then again, maybe not.

look at the tyre thread. indicator is for newbie :D

haha...what a joke. michelin came out with an article on their tyre thread. maybe the tyre shop don't know to understand michelin thread.
