Bought Primacy MXV4's as my next tire. Never regretted it.
I'll run mine 'till the wheels fall off. It's been relatively trouble free - most all problems were fixed while it was under warranty. Front pads & rotors were replaced twice, latest at 30K. So far, so good, but the rear pads are ready for replacement now - will replace rotors also.
I recently replaced the stock tires with Michelin Primacy MXM4 and this thing is now QUIET. It's amazing how quiet it is even over rough surfaces and at highway speeds.
For example, Maxxis MA-Z1's cost me $135ea and last about 30,000kms, but the Bridgestone Adrenalin RE001's on my car at the moment can get about 60-80,000kms, but cost $185ea.
I had the WS-50 on my Miata (came with it) and they were fanfukintastic in snow and ice but lasted about 20,000 miles total before turning into slippy dangerous banana peels while still showing 6/32 remaining.
I have Michelin X-Ice2's for my car. No complaints :thumbup:
Last winter I made the switch from studded Pirelli Winter Carvings to studless Bridgestone Blizzak WS60s... I was extremely impressed with them. Worked great in the white stuff.
We ditched the OEM Bridgestone Dueler HT 684II which is the worst tire on the road today with some Michelin Energy LX4s at around 50k, and that made a hige difference in sound, handling, and ride comfort.
Confirmed, mine also came with 235/45/R17 Michelin HX MXM4 Pilot tires with an M+S rating, so they are rated for some level of mud and snow service. So far, the little bit we have driven the car it seems to handle ok on the snow and ice, and seems to grip the dry pavement really well.
On a subject unrelated to load ratings, the Michelin HX MXM4 are, well, to be brutally honest - they are total rubbish. Expect to have borderline dangerous hydroplaning performance when the tires get to 6/32nds and less. Wet traction will be very poor when the tires get below 4/32nds or so.
