Comments about Energy MXV4 Plus:

This is my fifth set of MXV4's. Previous milages ranged from 96,000 to 135,000. The last set on my Honda Pilot lasted over 179,000 miles and still had .004 tread! They were as smooth when I replaced them as they were new. I love this tire!

MXV4 Plus review

By Slammer

from USA

Pros

Best Uses

Comments about Energy MXV4 Plus:

Original equipment on my 2010 Azera, which I drive pretty conservatively. Ride, traction and handling were fine but the tires cupped badly by 8,000 miles when I rotated them. They were pretty noisy thereafter. The tires were down to 2/32 of an inch tread at 27,400 miles and I replaced them with other than a Michelin.
I am very displeased with the mileage and the dealer's response which was that it was the car's fault. I always maintained 32 psi and the tires wore evenly so I doubt the car is to blame.
Michelin and it's dealer (that I had bought 3 other sets of tire from) have lost a customer.

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

Michelin response:The feedback that you provided on your experience with Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus tires is appreciated. We are sorry to hear that these tires did not meet with your expectations.

3 years of driving in New Delhi, India

Comments about Energy MXV4 Plus:

I was posted in New Delhi, India for three years, and had these tires on my Camry. The roads there are terrible- poorly graded, uneven, not smooth, and lots of pot holes. These Michelins never suffered a flat or defected in anyway with regard to the sidewall or tread compound. They are also very smooth, low-noise tires, and easily performed exceptional on the camry. Well worth every cent!

1 See Michelin Owner's Manual for complete description.

The sizes and/or speed ratings listed may vary slightly from the specified OE size shown on the vehicle placard. Your local Tire Dealer, as a trained professional, will provide the required assistance to install the tire listed by: 1. Notifying the owner if the replacement tires are different in speed rating than the OE tires and the maximum speed capability of the vehicle is limited to the lower speed rated tires. 2. Determine if any inflation pressure adjustments are necessary with the alternate listed size.

OE [Vehicle Manufacturer] Sidewall Marking: * = BMW
OE Code [Original Equipment Key]: BM = BMW, GM = General Motors, HY = Hyundai, K = Kia, MB = Mercedes-Benz, T = Toyota, V = Volvo, VW = Volkswagen

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:
