Michelin XM1 only have 195/60 R15..

Exact size 185/55 R15 is Michelin Vivacy.. Comfort but not much performance.

Go for new Pilot Preceda 195/50 R15 or 195/55 R15... Silence & Performance...

You won't Regret !!! :yahoo:

If you can get the XM1 in a suitable size, it might be worth your while - my friend is using the XM1 in his Honda City IDSI (185/60R14) and he's quite pleased with it in terms of grip, comfort and quietness, although the tyre was slippery when new and only performed well after a few hundred kilometres.

Hmm seems like quite a few good comments about the new Michelin XM1. But problem is the XM1 doesn't come in the size I want.
