Michelin XM1+

Ajaybiz · 2nd November 2007, 11:33

Guys yesterday went for replacing my stock JK's with Michilin XM1 at our famous Tyre Dealer in Banagalore, and after struggling a lot for getting me the 185, 70/R14 he said its out of stock in entire bangalore and have to wait for another week, he gave me another 50 KM to drive on my Car so ill have around 150 KM to drive in stock Tyres but one good news is that he told me one new range is coming up which is replacing the existing XM1 and i.e. XM1+ and thats why the XM1 range is out of stock.
Here's the link

That is sweet news. 25% longer duration, good ride comfort, silent ride with superb grip. Will have to see how they price it.

Thanks Ajay. Thats great news.
I will wait until it is released in bangalore. Are you sure about the profile? The website says 185 60/R14 and thats what I have in mind for upgrade.

What is the Price like ? Any Idea ?

Ajaybiz · 2nd November 2007, 11:59

They said almost same as XM1.

iraghava · 2nd November 2007, 12:55

Yup, the new XM1+ has just been announced by Michelin & will be available very shortly. Price difference is going to be minimal & the tread depth is going to be more than earlier, so all those who worry that Michelin's are going to wear out faster - this is the companies answer to you!

Michelin XM1's are good, so this can only be better !

Is this XM1+ out yet? My 38k km run s322 has got extremely twitchy, so will be changing them in a week or so...

The aussie site is still listing only XM1, no "+" there yet...
