Our take

The Michelin Primacy MXM4 is a solid choice for drivers who value comfort and dry grip in a grand touring all-season tire. With comfort and noise scores both at 8, it provides a ride that is smooth and quiet, aligning well with the category's expectations. Its dry grip rating of 8.5 is notably higher than the category average, making it a reliable performer on dry roads. However, the Primacy MXM4's treadwear warranty of 55,000 miles and UTQG rating of 500 are below the category benchmarks, indicating a potentially shorter lifespan. This is a significant consideration for buyers who prioritize longevity, especially when competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45 offer longer warranties. In the grand touring all-season segment, the Primacy MXM4 stands out for its comfort and handling, but those seeking maximum tread life might find better value elsewhere. If you prioritize a quiet and comfortable ride with strong dry grip, this tire is a good fit. However, if your main concern is getting the most miles for your money, consider alternatives with longer warranties.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 match the category average, providing a smooth and quiet ride typical of grand touring tires.
  • Dry grip rating of 8.5 surpasses the category average of 7.6, making it a strong performer on dry roads.
  • Handling score of 8.5 indicates responsive steering, which is beneficial for drivers who prioritize precise control.

Cons

  • The shorter treadwear warranty compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45 may deter buyers seeking maximum mileage for their investment.
  • Treadwear warranty of 55,000 miles falls short of the category average of 62,053 miles, potentially leading to more frequent replacements.
  • UTQG treadwear rating of 500 is slightly below the category average of 574, suggesting a shorter lifespan than some competitors.
  • The General AltiMAX RT45 offers a longer treadwear warranty, which might appeal more to budget-conscious buyers focused on longevity.
