[anthon05]

Hi need you opinion and kung sino na naka try. Size is 205 70 R15 for my Crosswind.

Ano ang mas durable and better ride comfort? MIchelin XM2 or Goodyear HP AW?


I already checked the price and its almost the same.


Thank you

By the way gamit ko now Goodyear Fortera. Used it for 5years. Phase out na daw and I think the goodyear HP AW is the replacement kasi it looks the same.

I also liked the Forteras before so we used Wrangler HP on a Ford Escape. So far so good but its only a few weeks old to date.

I'm also satisfied with the fortera, taka nga ako bakit phase out ng good year. in terms of ride comfort and durabiltiy.

if yung michelin XM2 mas matagal mapudpod puedeng replacement. pero parang pang light duty lang siya thats why

I need insights kung sino na nakagamit.


thanks

Are XM2s rated for truck use?

I'd rather get HPAWs. Better performance. I tried them out at the Goodyear launch, and the performance was pretty darn good. Not as good, mind you, as Advan STs, but really good for a truck tire. XM2s are fuel savers, which sacrifice some grip for fuel economy... not a big deal, since the Crosswind is not a performance vehicle, but I've never been comfortable with the braking abilities of the Michelin Energy series (and I've had the XM1s on one of my vehicles) whereas the HP AWs have excellent braking grip.

Yes there is a an issue with grip and braking performance of energy conserving tires. Since a crosswind is already economical, get the HP AW's na lang TS.
