Looking for long term feedback on UC6: how are the tyres on rough/broken roads / un-paved tracks ? Do they hold up well ?

(If respondng - please let me know how much you have used them for)

I got a set of UC6 in 215/60 R16 a couple of days back .. wondering if I should have got Yoko BlueEarth instead. Long term feedback on both of these will help. So please do share your thoughts.

Looking to upgrade my i20's stock tyres to Michelin Energy XM2+. Anyone having any experience with Michelin, 185/60 R15 size?

I have them on my Tiago since Aug-2021 (upsized from 175/65 R14 to 185/65 R14) and covered close to 40K km, with some 3mm tread depth left. They handle rough/no roads pretty good but aren't as hard as, say Yoko Earth 1, to withstand the likes of sharp stones. I had 3 punctures on them so far - one of which was a nail, other two were minor cuts at different occasions. In comparison to Yoko Earth 1 which I had before, UC6 is a much better all rounder - softer compound, better comfort, handling & grip, and lesser road noise.

Hello Condor, I've crossed 40k kms after the upgrade from Goodyear in my ford 85k run ecosport diesel2019 Titanium and it has held up very well. My travel is mostly on the highways and that includes ghat sections and mid to hard offroad. Compared to Goodyear the ride is smooth,noise level is slightly suppressed and braking(wet) is better. So far only one puncture in the city due to nail. Given a choice my third set of shoes will also be US6. I've no idea about yoko. Hope it clarifies your query😊
