They are good, I have it for a year and still going good, previous one was Bridgestone, definitely better than that. Got it from Costco with $70 off. Grip is good and seems they will last long unlike Bridgestone ones which only lasted 2 years

Con: Too much noise, even after 1 year it make lot of noise.

One of the best. Truly are a great tyre when safety is top priority. These tyres are reasonably long wearing on the right car with the right maintenance. Wet weather grip and performance, I think is unbeatable. Unfortunately they don't make the right size for the rims on my new car. But I recommend these for sure. Only downside to me was a reduction in fuel economy. My son even said, "Maybe they grip too good reducing fuel Economy". We heard they were great in the wet. We tested them. They lived up to it. Thanks Michelin.

Durable, quite and great in the wet. I can't say that I have noticed any better than average fuel economy but I have found cornering much better and stopping in the wet a lot better than any other tyre i have owned before. The price wasn't unreasonable. #135/tyre from JAX Toowoomba.

The tyres are quite at highway speeds. Is a bit of squeal on tight high speed turns but otherwise acceptable. Wet weather grip is good and they work extremely well when hitting puddles at speed. Braking performance is good and the tyres seem to work well on rough roads and gravel as well. No sidewall damage detected after 15,000 km of driving.

Had these tyres on 2012 Ford Focus 205/55/16R. Best tyres with long duration; 65000 kms. Great handling in wet conditions, and various terrains; gravel, dirt, sloped. Never had a problem with going off road or sliding. Quiet cabin riding and smooth on the road.

Always kept PSI at manufacturer recommendations. Only had to change tyres due to tread pattern wearing. Reasonably priced if you ask around and for price matching.

Michelin are the best tyres but beware online people and shop when they are way cheaper than normal you are buying parallel tyres not for our Australian market you will never get warranty on them so buyer beware sometimes the tyres are 3-4 years old which is dangerous so I say again buyer beware

Just replaced them after 130000 kms ( the rear tyres still had 20-30,000) left in them.
Obviously bought 4 more as costco had a special if you replace 4. I had a tyre puncture in the front tyre which made me replace the whole lot. I will obviously buy them again in a few years.

I needed a new set of tyres for my Holden Astra and these have the quality and price I was looking for. The performance of it good, handling, steering all smooth. The price was amazing. It only cost $450 including fitting. I compared it with Jax and an online shop called Tyroola, the last one gave me the best price and answered all my questions. I will keep checking the tread wear, but I have read good reviews about the tyre so I hope they will last a couple of years. I'm not sure if I'm not sure which tyres I can get for my second car, a Toyota Corolla, but I'm quite happy with the overall experience, with my new tyres and Tyroola. So will probably buy there again.

Pretty much still in 500 km with them on. Came from a Nitto Neogen, and I can tell that these XM2s can get a lot of road noise above around 100 km/h compared to my previous rubbers. Not that grippy as well, I was hearing tire screech @ just 2000 rpm launch from standstill, compared to my Nitto Neogens before, the screeching only starts at 2500rpm-ish. I expect my cornering ability will be a bit of a downgrade as well.

Still, looks very sturdy and I expect my tire life will last longer than the Neogens. For a daily driver, it has pretty much all what you need.

I've had Xm2 tyres on my Fairmont wagon for 3 years and travelled around 40 thousand highway kilometers, the car is going to be sold but the tyres have so much life left in them I took them to TTF and I paid $120 to have them swapped to my tandem trailer rims, my 2007 xt wagon now has the same tyres (different profile) and my G220 fairlane will be the next in line. The road noise is considerably lower, braking in the wet is done with complete confidence, and very little drift when cornering a little harder than I should. I don't care for fuel savings as how can I ever really calculate it, they really are that good.

I replaced the Kumho Solus tyres on my 2002 Volvo with the Michelin tyres. I noticed a difference in the 'rolling on' of the car straight away. Two weeks after I had them put on I drove to Sydney and back from Wagga. The trip is on the Hume Highway - a mixture of seal and concrete. Could not believe how quiet they were and how much more comfortable the ride was. Unless something goes horribly wrong I will but them again

Review it in 2014.Changed new : Michelin tyre x 4 nos . brand new. 14"rim. At 50km/hr. turning to left bend very noisy, while right bend is o.k. So much so that . After trying n seeing Good mechanics, in 2015, found out its t' Wheel bearing' faulty.., not the tyre itself. Sorry.

Original Michelins Energy XSE's were superseded by XM1 & XM2's and I found the XSE's and the XM2's so good I never bought anything else.
Out of all the cars I've owned, and that's quite a few, I have never stuck to one tyre like this tyre for a single car.
Make sure you always rotate your tyres though to get maximum life from a set of 4, especially with FWD cars like the Astra.

Fitted the tyres on Holden Astra TS in 2012 at 75k. I sold the Car with 145k and there was plenty of rubber left. You do the math - Unbelievably great tyre. Everything improved from handeling to economy. They only thing I would fault is the noise on the road. I did plenty of highway driving on he weekends and the little trips to the shops and airpot in Melbourne. I highly recommend the tyre, I believe this is really great value for money. Shop around. Michelin did a great job in my opinion.

I've never used Michelin tyres before as they've normally been too expensive. A recent $70 off for a full set of the 195/60R15 swayed me to try them. I drive a turbocharged 626 that kicks out plenty of torque from the front wheels so many tyres can't handle the load without breaking traction, necessitating the use of semi slick tyres. Well blow me away. These tyres grip better than anything else I've ever used in a non racing tyre, corner aggressively, handle frost/sleet on the road without issue and as a nice bonus are more fuel efficient. All for $470 fitted for all corners.

The only negative (and I'm being picky here) is road noise is slightly higher than some other road tyres. Minor issue though. I can't speak highly enough of them.

Had a set of XM2 fitted to my mitsubishi lancer and immediately felt the difference. Road holding and cornering great. Markedly reduced road noise. Great in the wet - no back slide even better in the dry. Will see how they wear ovet time and check fuel consumption but so far very happy with tyres. Reasonably priced.
