Brothers there is no such thing as good or bad brand u cannot say that Honda Toyota Mazda is a better brand than other each has its own priorities and we select them according to our likings.
Simillarly all tyres and patterns have to be read carefully before buying a tyre.
Michelin Energy XM2 are no doubt much better value and better performance for money than the Yoko Advan V551.
Yoko Advan V551 are overrated and overpriced nowadays because of the hype.
Also remember that is more than 2 years old pattern now and competition is moving on.
Continental Eco Contact 5 are hands down better than Yoko Advan in every aspect.
