I was also pondering on that choice 1 month+ ago. Went with XM1, no regrets since.

Gives good confidence in the wet. Noise does get abit noisier after the 1000km mark, but it's something i can live with. No difference in FC though. (using GR 80 previously)

No doubt about it's XM1.

 

In this case it doesn't matter MIT or MIJ.

 

This is a comparision of tyre technologies.

What is your preference? If you want the quietest tyre, nothing beats ES501. I have used both.

[5936]

Yes ES501 is as quiet as they claimed.

 

many tyres mfr are not so honest i this area.

I used XM1 b4. A very good value for $ tire.

 

Gives good grip in dry/wet & noise is acceptable but most important, it is very lasting.

Anyone has any idea comparing Bridgestone GR-90 to XM1 or ES501?
