I've been using xm2 for 2 years now. Quite ok with it but looking for cheaper alternatives. Any recommendation?

Tyres are what keep you and your car planted on the road. Spend wisely, do not be penny wise and end up decorating the PIE / ECP guard rail.

My first time using XM2, it's expensive, compared to other brands. Not sure, if it's worth the extra $20, but for now, the grip is good, quiet as the tyres are new.

 

Hopefully, it can last 60k like others mentioned.

 

So far, all the other tyres I've used, less than 40k already poor grip or almost bald.

I did that.

 

I changed from XM1 to ContiComfortContact 5 and regretted it.

 

Should have just spent a bit more and get the XM2.

 

How much do you want to save? $20 a tyre and sacrifice quality?

No point saving the $20 and after 40k get poor grip and balding.

 

Its a false economy.

just got mine last Saturday in Bukit Indah Johor.

 

205/65 R15 + Balancing and Alignment

 

RM290 each + RM5 per valve

 

Asked a few shops around, and was offered RM310 and RM340 from other shops around the area.

 

Waited for an hour for the boss to go get the tyres.

Took an hour to change and balance, and another 30 mins to align.

 

3914 manufactured.

 

Happy like a bird.

 

Previously on XM1, the thread in Front at gone, but the 2 at the rear still good.

Changed all 4 though...

 

 

Quite, and the steering is much lighter.

Rolls much further when lifted foot from accelerator.

I paid S$125 each in Tampines. Identical size to yours.

Done in half hour.

I have XM2 tyres and they performed pretty much the same compare to Goodyear Assurance in dry and wet condition. Safety is a crucial concern for me as in Singapore, you need to be reactive in certain heavy traffic situation where sometimes a few cm can mean kissing the car or rail.

 

XM2 sidewall is not as tough as Assurance as the latter uses Kelvar. So bro who tend to corner should be aware. Anyway, the rolling resistance and road noise of XM is relatively lower. The brand name sits with me.

 

With a family, I certainly do not believe in saving a couple of dollars to compromise safety. I have my fair share of experience in lousy tyres, they simply cannot perform up to the mark unless you are 70 years old driving 70k on the 3rd lane the rest all your life. If you look at it an extra $100 for 2 years could just save you and your loved ones' lives again and again. That is a cheaper bargain.

 

I know of people who spend a lot of accessories like fancy rims to look good and flashy and save less than a hundred on cheap tyres. However, if your tyres lose control of the road, everything goes down. Think about. It's your car, money and lives at stake.

 

P.S - Better don't say so much lest I may be branded by some brainless teenagers here as tyre or car seller

Tyres are the only contact point between our cars and the roads...

 

A good tyre, though may be slightly expensive, but will definitely be safer in the long run...

 

Safety cannot be compromised in terms of monetary ... no way !
