Michelin's New Primacy MXV4 Tire - General Impressions

I just replaced the OEM Goodyear Integrity tires with Michelin Primacy MXV4s. It was a toss up with the Michelin Hydroedge, but I wanted a tire that would be a smoother overall ride, better in the snow, than a bit better in the rain. Of course, we are having monsoon like conditions today, LOL. My initial impression, with today's hazardous road conditions is that the Primacys stick to the road better, don't travel as much and gives a MUCH smoother ride than the Integritys, even when they were new. I replaced the Integritys at 32000 miles, but they easily could have been replaced at 20000 miles, and were a horrible tire from the get go. I will advise on any major mileage difference after 500-1000 miles, but again, better handling, smoother ride, immediately. There are plenty of other good tires out there, I just went with the Primacy MXV4 as a preference.

 

Michelin sounds like a good choice, but i don't think they have the 195/55R16's the touring model uses.

You can use Tire Rack.com's tire size search function then select to show only Low Rolling Resistance tires. This can help you quickly find suitable tires.
