Our take

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.

Pros

  • Comfort and noise scores of 8 align with the category benchmarks, making it a solid choice for a quiet and smooth ride.
  • Dry grip rating of 8.5 exceeds the category average of 7.6, offering enhanced handling in dry conditions.
  • 60,000-mile treadwear warranty provides assurance of long-lasting performance, just shy of the category average.

Cons

  • Lower treadwear rating of 500 compared to the category average may concern those focused on maximum longevity.
  • Treadwear rating of 500 falls below the category average of 574, suggesting a potential trade-off in longevity.
  • Wet grip score of 7.5 is only marginally above average, which may not be ideal for those prioritizing wet performance.
  • The General AltiMAX RT45 offers a higher treadwear warranty, which could be more appealing for high-mileage drivers.
