Michelin Energy XM2 185/65 R15 92H

I have a Zaporozhets 968 M, almost new, but the year of manufacture is 1981. I drove on imported tires, used them for 12 years, and decided to switch to other imported ones. Sold the bull. Bought Michelin Energy XM2. Couldn't recognize the car. It flies like a swallow. Due to poor brakes, the tires practically don't wear out, you can't hear the wheel noise, but the engine makes a loud clatter. It goes through deep puddles at high speeds (50-60 km/h) easily, no aquaplaning, but water gets into the cabin through the trunk and door gaps. It handles turns easily, but I have to brake a bit so the doors don't open accidentally. In the mud, it confidently conquers any hill because the rear-mounted engine helps, and sometimes my buddy—a former paratrooper—does too. The fuel consumption seems to have decreased; a full tank lasts for a month and a half now, it used to last for a month (trips to the in-laws in the neighboring village and to the district center store once a week), but I can't say for sure—the speedometer doesn't work. Overall, I'm satisfied with the tires. I think they'll last 10-15 years.

The rubber is soft, after Taiger, you can turn the steering wheel with one finger, the braking is good, haven't tested it in extreme conditions yet, driving around the city is a pleasure. Fuel consumption did not increase compared to the previous rubber.

soft, handles potholes and seams excellently.
