Comment:
this is my 3rd set of Primacy Tires. First set was replaced at 60k, this last set was replaced at 70k - and still have 5 - 10k left on the tread. Super tires - smooth, stay balanced, and never had a flat or other problem. Doesn't get much better than these tires.

Comment:
It's a Michelin and you expect it to be a good tire and it was better than what it replaced. I just replaced them after 55K miles this past summer with Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 and am much happier now.<br />Handling was tight and crisp right up to where they break free and you have to start praying. No warning, they just go.<br />Tire noise is better than a lot of tires but still loud compared to the EP422 tires.<br />Dry Grip?... well, they often squeeled off the line and I'd have to let up to get grip again.<br />Wet handling was terrible in anything but a straight line.<br />Winter Traction pales in comparison to my EP422 tires. The rubber is just too hard. These tires were below average on snow, hard park, and such.<br />I thought they were a good tire until I got the EP422 tires. If I were racing all the time, the EP422 don't handle well enough. However, the MXVX4 tire just pale in comparison on so many levels. They don't deserver the #1 ranking CR gave them this time.

Comment:
I purchased these tires from NTB last April and have been very pleased with their performance and comfort. I have over 14K miles on them already and only had a road hazard issue(giant nail which bent over and double-punctured the tire forcing them to replace it instead of repairing it). I cannot comment on the tread life except to say that they seem to be lasting a very long time for somebody who drives as fast as I do.
