Given 64% while driving a Honda CRV (215/65 R15) on a combination of roads for 20,000 average miles
these tyres are quite worth the price for the qualities it has. economy wise abit of improvement hardly noticable. comfort is very good at first when new nearly no noise but now after awhile starting to get noisier. grip levels are good but its fitted on an suv so yea.. tread wear still very good even though this car has been known to eat tyres because of its small width and heavy weight.

Another excellent product from Michelin. It is soft and comfortable. Very good touring Tyres. I have so far used them for approx 16,000Kms and still looks brand new. It seems like that these will go on forever, Extremely good investment. I was a hardcore Bridgestone Turanza fan. Couldn't find a set from the Bridgestone brand for my tire size requirement. Based on the positive reviews on the internet, I switched to Michelin . I will stay with this product for sure.

Replacing my saga R3 so call "performance" car. Equip with ATLAS A350 thailand tyre. After about 1 year change the tyre to MX2+. cabin noice drop noticeable. Wet handling and breaking improve tremendously. And really improve on comfort...

Had four years and done 16,000 kms. Still looking new. Very quiet with nice road feel and feedback. About to fit 1" larger diameter wheels and will definitely be fitting another set of these.

Low noise, smooth ride, low resistance, long lasting. The tyres looked worn out towards its end of life but was still performing well, though the noise level increases (which is expected). I have used Michelin XM, XM2 and just installed 4 brand new XM2+. Highly recommended for those looking for affordable, safe and comfortable tyres.

Not bad at all , very good dry and wet grip, road feedback is good, have them for 10k kilos still like new, however they are a little noisy and squeaky especially in summer day. They're not that eco tiers they rate c , but not bad at all.

Toyota (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 25 spirited miles
Short intro: toyota Mark X is a JDM toyota basically a Lexus IS250, same power, chassis, handling dynamics, so on... So its stock wheels are ONLY 16 inch makes no sense.
I bought these new when I was just getting into cars, there I only knew michelin is the best tyre manufacturer but I didnt knew tyres have models! Hence I settled for these, instead of michelin PS3 PS4 which are the best ones.

Region: tropical Asian, only sun and rain.

Dry grip and brake were excellent when new, and still quite good now near their end of life. Dry cornering is also pretty confident.
Wet grip and brake was only good when new, but it is getting scarier nearing their end of life.
When wet, it is easy to skid during U-turns or sharp turns, it is fun when I do it on purpose but dangerous as I had unwanted slips when carrying my family for a couple of times.

Handling is okay, consistent throughout all its life.
Road noise gets progressively louder and more obnoxious a long its life.
Comfort is good, wear is excellent consider I've done 40km/25mil in 2 years.

Overall, wouldn't get these again, good for economy cars (city cars, grocery getters), but not on a heavy RWD sedan

Bought new set of 18X8.5 wheels and are going Hankook V12 Evo2 next.

Review for Michelin Energy XM2 size 185/65/R15 on a 1994 BMW 325i sedan
I find these tyres almost perfect for average daily driving
high comfort and low road noise
impressive tire wear (22500 miles so far and plenty of tread left)
impressive braking performance during emergency stop situations
just dont exect UHP handling and grip levels, these are real world daily tyres
my only concern are the soft sidewalls in potholes, had to replace one
I would buy them again...

Given 59% while driving a Toyota Mark X (215/60 R16) on a combination of roads for 15,000 spirited miles
First, toyota markx is a Jdm car, sedan 2.5 V6 Rwd, 212hp 260nm, so the oem wheels of 16X7.5 with 215/60R16 doesn't make sense

When i got the car i didnt know crap about specific tyre models, was thinking michelin is one of the best, hence settled for xm2.

*I live in tropical country, no snow but rains a lot

When dry, grip is alright, handling is good,not sure about road feedback but comfort was also good, tyre noise increases with mileage.
Not the most powerful car, but at roundabouts or U-turns, if i floor it the car would slip and do small drifts, but flooring it in a straight line never slips.

In wet, if driving defensively it'd be normal, never experienced aquaplaning or slides but, in turns, roundabouts, u turns, if go pass 30% throttle over 3k rpm the car will break loose, have not had an accident yet but it's not fun

Now bought a set of 18x8.5 wheels, looking at Hankook v12 235/50R18
