Comments about Primacy MXV4:

Replaced my original 2012 Volvo S60 Primacy MXM4 tires with this tire on dealer recommendation. Returned them in 4 days and 150 miles. They are very quiet, HOWEVER, they wander around going down the road, especially above 50mph. For some reason, (tread pattern?) they want to follow every groove in the highway. Not cool! Dealer replaced with original MXM4's and now I am happy again. Called Michelin customer service and got "haven't heard of this problem" Well, now you have.

Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Michelin response:Thank you for the feedback that you provided regarding the Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires that were on your 2012 Volvo S60. We are sorry to hear that these tires did not meet your expectations, which lead to replacement with a set of Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires. Your experience with the Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires has been noted for consideration for the tires we develop in the future.

Comments about Primacy MXV4:

Never in my life do I get more than a year and a half out of a set of tires. These have lasted over two years. That far exceeds my expectations. The only thing different is that I'm useing nitrogen in these tires.

Comments about Primacy MXV4:

After having Toyo Tourevo LS II on for about 5mo and doing a lot of research I basically had enough of the rough ride the Toyo gave me of which I did not know till getting the Primacy MXV4 on. Night and Day difference , the ride on my Outback is silky smooth.
Thank you Michelin

OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: F= Ford, H = Honda, N = Nissan, T = Toyota

XL = Extra Load

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

H-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130
Inflation Increase (psi) 0.0 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0
Load Capacity (% of max.) 100 100 100 100 100 100

V-Speed Rated Sizes:
