Michelin Primacy MXV4

The Michelin Primacy MXV4 is a well-rounded option for drivers seeking comfort and dry handling in the grand touring all-season category. Its comfort and noise scores are right on par with category benchmarks, ensuring a smooth and quiet ride. The dry grip rating of 8.5 is notably higher than the average, which is a strong point for those who value handling in dry conditions. While the tire offers a 60,000-mile treadwear warranty, its UTQG treadwear rating of 500 is below the category average of 574. This suggests a potential compromise in longevity compared to some competitors. The wet grip score is slightly above average at 7.5, but not a standout feature, which could be a consideration for drivers in wetter climates. When compared to competitors like the General AltiMAX RT45, which offers a higher treadwear warranty, the Primacy MXV4 might not be the first choice for high-mileage drivers. However, it remains a solid option for those who prioritize comfort and dry performance. If maximum tread life is a priority, consider the General AltiMAX RT45 or similar options instead.
