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 eco-focused manufacturing and low rolling resistance, and confirms the tire's contribution to reducing vehicle fuel consumption, emission of CO2 gases and improving sustainability through conservation of natural resources. 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.

I use these tires all winter long and drive every day through the Pittsburgh snow and ice.
I used the rating system available on Tire rack. As I have done for decades. It always commentates with the right tire for my car at that time. I use these tires all winter long and drive every day through the Pittsburgh snow and ice.

...No squeakiness on dry pavement and rolling noise is low...
Tires are quieter than even the last exact same model. No squeakiness on dry pavement and rolling noise is low. Rolling resistance will probably be unchanged from the last set. I’ve had the exact same model of tires for the last 100,000 miles with enjoyable driving and no issues.

...Overall the performance of the tires in dry conditions are good. Handling is responsive to the drivers input...
These Michelin primacy MXM4 tires came with the purchase of the car. Overall the performance of the tires in dry and wet conditions are good. Handling is responsive to the drivers input. The reason for the review is to voice my opinion about the tires abilities in the snow. Having gone through a blizzard or two in Wisconsin, these tires do not have what it takes to make a person feel confident that you won't get stranded or in a ditch. Trying to get traction from a stop, turning or attempting to stop with reasonable force [ not locking up the brakes] is white knuckling at best. I take my foot of the brake [did not touch the gas] and the front end started slipping sideways instantly, it's an UGLY feeling when you have a line of traffic behind you! Iv'e had other tires on cars that Iv'e been able to get more than the expected life out of them. My current tires have 22K of 40K left and I'm cutting my losses and getting new tires ASAP! I hate losing out on the remaining tread life ,but peace of mind supersedes $$ sometimes. Anyone looking for new tires should automatically stop at Tire rack website for the technical specs. It's an excellent tool in the decision making process. I'm glad it exists.

...I'd say noise is average, comfort is good...
These tires came with my new 2023 Honda Accord Hybrid Touring. They lasted 55k miles. I have abused them by accidentally going over curves, pretty hard and they took it even though it cut a little of the sidewall. I never had a flat. I'd say noise is average, comfort is good. I highly recommend these tires

But these are JINK for treadwear. I got alignment when first set was put on. I drive easy. they simply are not getting even half the warranty mileage. I would NEVER buy Michelin again based on this horrible experience 2X

Grand Touring All-Season tires are designed to blend a smooth, quiet ride with responsive handling, all while providing year-round traction. Admittedly, this can be a tight line to walk for tire designers.
We compared two newcomers to two popular options from the Grand Touring All-Season category to see how well the tires are optimized for all of the above.
