The Primacy MXM4 is Michelin's Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for luxury sedan and coupe drivers looking to combine all-weather handling and traction with good noise and ride comfort. Most Primacy MXM4 tires meet Michelin's Green X standard* for low rolling resistance that confirms the tire's contribution to reducing vehicle fuel consumption and emissions of CO2 gases. The Primacy MXM4 is designed to blend a quiet, comfortable ride, responsive handling and enhanced fuel efficiency with year-round all-season traction, even in light snow.
The Primacy MXM4 features Michelin’s first use of their patented sunflower oil-enriched Helio Compound technology in an all-season tire to increase traction at low temperatures for improved braking and handling in the wet, as well as better overall performance in the snow. The Helio Compound is molded into an asymmetric tread design featuring a European handling profile with rounder shoulders that are designed to provide progressive, predictable cornering. Circumferential grooves evacuate water out from under the tire's footprint to reduce hydroplaning while Michelin's 3-D Variable Thickness Sipe Technology provides additional biting edges to enhance wet and wintertime traction.
The Primacy MXM4 was developed with Michelin Comfort Control Technology using computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing methods to reduce vibration and road noise. The tire's internal structure includes twin steel belts reinforced by Michelin's BAZ (Banded At Zero) spiral-wrapped polyamide cord that stabilizes the tread area to enhance treadwear, handling and high-speed capability. The Primacy MXM4 features a polyester cord body to provide a smooth ride.

El neumático Primacy MXM4 de Michelin pertenece a la categoría: Gran Turismo Para Toda Estación y fue desarrollado para conductores de autos lujosos sedán y cupé que buscan combinar maniobrabilidad y tracción durante todas las estaciones del año, con bajo ruido y confort al andar. La mayoría de los Primacy MXM4 cumple con los requisitos estándares Green X de Michelin*, para obtener una resistencia más baja al rodar, lo que contribuye a la reducción de consumo de gasolina y emisiones de gases CO2. El Primacy MXM4 fue diseñado para combinar un andar tranquilo, confortable, maniobrabilidad responsiva, mejorar el consumo de gasolina, con tracción durante todo el año, incluyendo superficies con poca nieve.
El Primacy MXM4 utiliza, por primera vez, la tecnología patentada por Michelin que utiliza aceites de girasol enriquecido para el compuesto de caucho Helio, en neumáticos para toda estación con el propósito de mejorar la tracción a temperaturas bajas y así aumentar el frenado y maniobrabilidad, como su desempeño total en presencia de nieve. El compuesto Helio es moldeado en una banda de rodamiento con diseño asimétrico que proporciona una maniobrabilidad europea, posee hombros más redondos que permite tomar curvas predeciblemente y con mayor progresión. Ranuras circunferenciales mejoran la tracción sobre mojado y la resistencia al deslizamiento sobre agua (hydroplaning), ranuras con anchos diferentes y profundidad completa (2-D Active) proporcionan mayor mordida para una mejor tracción durante el invierno.
El Primacy MXM4 fue desarrollado con la tecnología Comfort Control de Michelin, que utiliza un diseño optimizado por computadora y métodos de producción precisos, para reducir la vibración y el ruido.
La estructura interna incluye correas gemelas reforzadas con la tecnología Banded At Zero (BAZ, por sus siglas en inglés) y cordones de poliamida envueltos en espiral, para estabilizar la parte superior de la banda de rodamiento y mejorar el desgaste, maniobrabilidad y la capacidad a velocidades elevadas. Además, posee un cuerpo de poliéster para proporcionar un andar tranquilo.
