Vinceng Turbocharged March 10, 2011 Share March 10, 2011 Both are comfort based tyres & made-in-Japan. Hard decision to make. Which would you choose in terms of overall comfort and good grip in the wet and dry for normal driving in a 1600cc saloon?

Vinceng Turbocharged March 11, 2011 Author Share March 11, 2011 Michelin XM1 is the bottom of the range tyre in Michellin's stable and is manufactured in Thailand where labour cost is low, yet carries a 20% premium over the mid range made-in-Japan Toyo and Yokohama.
