My MXV4s have travelled 124,000 miles!

Comments about Primacy MXV4:

My MXV4s have travelled 124,000 miles! - I recently realized that I am ready for new tires on my 2006 Subaru Outback. I purchased a set of 225/55/R17 H rated Primacy MXV4s in August 2008, so I went back to look at my paperwork to see what I paid as I prepared to do some comparative pricing. Wow ! The MXV4s have travelled 124,000 miles and I still have 4/32s in tread depth remaining. The MXV4s are also the most comfortable and quiet tires I have had on my Subaru. I am going to purchase another set....I hope they do not outlive my trusty Subaru !

Comments about Primacy MXV4:

I love my new tires, feel more confident and safe driving with these tires. They have superior quality and the ride is smoother. I'm trying to think of something I don't like, but quite honestly I can't. You receive good value for the price. I did have a hard time finding these tires in stock at several dealers I called, since I had to have them right away, but the dealer I finally used gave me superior service.

Subaru Forester Loves Michelin

By JK

from USA

Comments about Primacy MXV4:

I just bought four of these Primacy MXV4 tires for my 2007 Forester, and it frankly feels like a new car. The difference is amazing. It is so quiet, I had to turn the radio way down, and I can't wait to see whether I have any improved gas mileage. So, after 5 miles I am hooked, and am looking foward to 59,995 more at least.

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:
