The Michelin Primacy MXV4 is a grand touring all-season tire engineered for coupes, sedans, minivans, and crossover vehicles, targeting drivers who prioritize a comfortable and quiet ride, long tread life, and confident all-season performance. This tire distinguishes itself by balancing these attributes to deliver a refined driving experience.
The Primacy MXV4 features a symmetric tread design that incorporates notched shoulders, independent intermediate tread blocks, and continuous center ribs. Michelin's Active Sipes technology enhances grip by allowing the sipes to lock and open as needed, providing increased biting edges, particularly in wet and light snow conditions. Circumferential grooves aid in water evacuation, further improving wet traction and reducing the risk of hydroplaning.
Michelin's Comfort Control Technology is integrated into the Primacy MXV4, utilizing a computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing to minimize vibrations and road noise. Furthermore, Advanced MaxTouch Construction helps ensure even wear by optimizing the tire's contact with the road, contributing to the tire's impressive 500 UTQG treadwear rating. The internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced with BAZ Technology (Banded At Zero degrees), enhancing high-speed durability and ride comfort. Compared to other touring tires, the Primacy MXV4 is known for its smooth and quiet ride, good handling, and long-lasting tread.
