Tyre reviews Michelin Energy XM2. Page 5 341

I bought Michelin Energy XM 2 tyres on this website two years ago to replace the original Bridgestones. I chose a slightly larger size than the originals and a price that wouldn't break the bank. At the time, it was just over two dollars per tire. Since I live in the Tambov region, the tyres took a while to arrive via courier. After a short period of getting used to them, I immediately felt the difference: the tyres were soft, quiet and comfortable.

I bought these tires two seasons ago and the wear is minimal, handling is excellent, and braking is superb and has saved me many times, despite hitting potholes and other obstacles etc... There was no sign of wheelspin even in the first season, nor did it make any noise on asphalt, nor when braking! However, it doesn't like mud and instead floats and struggles to get traction, so it's not for muddy conditions. I'm satisfied with the purchase! Would I buy it again

This is my first set of summer tires, so I'll write a review based on my personal feelings in comparison to the winter Bridgestones.
Compared to the winter tires, they are incredibly soft when driving over potholes, rocks and unevenness. Maybe it also played a role that I bought a second set of lightweight tires, specifically for the summer (tire weight 7 kg + plus this rubber, on stretched hands you can easily lift and move, winter tires with

I replaced my Hankook Optima K415 tires with a focus on minimizing noise, but I didn't really notice a difference. They hold the road well, and they pass over road joints a bit more smoothly. However, there's some whining when starting up and braking. I haven't driven on wet roads yet, but they track straight at speed. I also swapped to a wider tire (from 195 to 205) and the road feedback has become less noticeable. Overall, I'm

Good tire. Quiet, durable. Good option for asphalt, but in mud the tread suddenly locks up and becomes useless.

Went 30000 km on these tires on a BMW. Here's what I want to say about them: quiet, wear-resistant, stiff. In the rain, perfect for aquaplaning. They brake better on wet asphalt than on dry. Now about the bad. Often "blows out" due to our poor roads. Three of my wheels have blown out, I'll repeat, this is due to the terrible roads. Fear of large gravel, potholes in the asphalt and

Non-Russian made tyre from the UK, holds 150km/h (as I don't often drive faster, it's a classic car after all), quiet and soft on wet asphalt. Never driven in snow or ice. Brakes effectively. Clings to the road even on a worn-out tyre.

I've been breaking in the new Michelin Energy HM2 195/65. I was surprised that Michelin tends to be soft and on touch they are softer than Bridgestone, but these Energy HM2s are quite stiff. But what really surprised me is that even though you can feel the potholes, the car handles like a new one with new suspension and damping, and even though the ride is stiff it's like driving a new car, I even remember the feeling of driving

I've already written a review on April 13th of this year. So, let's start again. I've driven them around 20,000 km, handling at high speeds remains the same. Recently, I had them balanced. All four (!!!) wheels were spot on, no balancing required at all. We only needed to add 5 grams to one of them, and that was only because the wheel had slightly bent due to our roads. The mechanic was amazed, saying that just

The tire is fantastic. I bought 4 on my 1996 Honda Accord in Vinnytsia for 600 UAH each. The tire is very soft, the sidewalls are reinforced, but I try not to ride too close to the curb. On the highway, there's no noise, it swallows and spits out potholes, and all I can hear is the occasional thud. The manufacturer is Russia, Italy, but I opted for the combined United Kingdom model.
