The Michelin Primacy MXM4 245/40R19 98W (MPN: 02306) is a Grand Touring All-Season tire engineered for luxury sedan and coupe drivers who demand a balanced combination of all-weather traction, refined ride comfort, and responsive handling. This extra-load (XL) rated tire is a top choice among premium automakers and performance-oriented drivers alike.
At the heart of the Primacy MXM4 is Michelin's patented Helio Compound technology, which incorporates a sunflower oil additive into the tread compound. This innovation helps maintain tread flexibility at low temperatures, delivering enhanced braking and handling performance in wet conditions and improved grip in light snow.
The asymmetric tread design features a European handling profile with rounder shoulders for progressive, predictable cornering. Michelin's 3-D Variable Thickness Sipe Technology adds numerous biting edges throughout the tread to boost wet and wintertime traction, while circumferential grooves channel water away from the contact patch to resist hydroplaning.
Michelin's MaxTouch Construction distributes the forces of acceleration, braking, and cornering evenly across the tread for more uniform wear and extended tread life. The tire's internal structure features twin steel belts reinforced with Michelin's BAZ (Banded At Zero) spiral-wrapped polyamide cord, stabilizing the tread area for improved high-speed capability and handling precision.
Comfort Control Technology uses computer-optimized design and precision manufacturing to minimize vibration and road noise, ensuring a smooth, quiet ride on long highway drives and city streets alike.
