Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus Passenger/Performance Tire

Pros: Michelin Reputation
Cons: Traction (dry, wet & snow) below expectation. Longivity

Michelin has one of the most sterling reputations in the tire business. From their invention of the radial tire early last century, Michelin has been almost synonymous with quality and performance. Dashed Dreams I will bet that there ...

Pros: They come on the car for free?
Cons: Severly overpriced

UPDATE: I just reread this review because somebody rated it yesterday. After reviewing my own review, I'd like to make an additional comment. These tires are used in OEM applications because they do in fact increase a car's fuel economy. The reason ...

Pros: Incredibly smooth ride, quiet, good gas mileage
Cons: some rear end slipping in wet weather

I purchased four of these tires at Costco for $420.00. I've had them mounted on my 1992 rear wheel drive Volvo 960 (the Swedish Pimp) for about 9 months and 9,000 miles now and I really love them. I had read some reviews of these tires on other sites and...

Pros: Acceptable dry weather performance
Cons: Cost, life, wet traction

These tires came as OEM equipment on my 2002 Honda Accord EX. This is generally a family sedan, so handling performance has never been a big issue. They have always been terrible in wet weather. I can spin the tires from any stop with just the slightest ...

Pros: Look nice.
Cons: VERY bad response, control and handling in wet and snow conditions. VERY expensive.

Hey all, Just bought a 2001 Bonneville in the fall and was pleased to see that it had new tires. The problem now is that it is winter and there is snow and slush everywhere. The car feels like it is being bounced around. Infact, when you are driving ...

Pros: Excellent tread life, outstanding all season performance.
Cons: A bit pricey compared to competing brands.

The Michelin Energy MXV4 Plus is an OEM tire used by many top selling models, such as the Honda Acco ...

Pros: good tire swing ; 400A tread
Cons: they are the worst

This tire has NO SIDEWALL. upon making a left hadn turn in my e320 i was put into a fishtail and almost smacked a pedestrian. very very scary. and the weird thing is, it was drive, and i was about 1/3 throttle. co-incidence? or bad tire. well i looked...

Pros: None really!
Cons: Expensive, mediocre performance, run of the mill tire!

These tires seem to me to provide adequate traction under normal run-of-the mill driving. However, I do not think they are stellar performers. What makes it worse is if you go to replace them (all, or even one). One of these tires became punctured ...

Pros: Tires are quiet and handle decently and they should be long-lasting.
Cons: High price, may slip a little in wet weather, braking distance longer than expected

The opinions here certainly are diverse, with some people giving these tires the lowest rating and others the highest. It's puzzling that there are so many divergent opinions about the same tire. Judging from these reviews, I think different people are ...

Pros: Silent, and all around great performers.
Cons: Price, but as is commonly stated "you get what you pay for."

I have a TDI Jetta with 47000 on it and I still have excellent tread on these Michelin mxv4. I've read most of the reviews on this site about these tires and I noticed that a lot of the reviews on Epinoins say that these mvx4 are bad in wet weather or ...

Pros: soft ride
Cons: wallowy handling, TERRIBLE tread wear,

These tires came standard on my wife's lovely 1999 Mercedes E class. At first they seemed nice. They were quiet, offered a nice soft ride, and they were made by a quality manufacturer.

First impressions can be very misleading. The pillowy...

Pros: I will say that on the freeway these are ok tires.
Cons: Not a good tire for crested, undulating roads.

I think I did not like this tire from the beginning. Here are the reasons. For a BMW 325i, this tire feels far too bulky and heavy. They seem be unmatched for the car's performance. A crisp, fast turn in is very hard to accomplish. I found myself having ...

Pros: Wet traction and wear
Cons: Price

I live in the Seattle area so wet traction is an important factor. These tires really hold to wet surfaces, especially on acceleration. Traction in the snow was a secondary consideration since I also have a 4x4, but the snow traction seems good,...

Pros: Quiet and soft ride on dry roads
Cons: Hydroplaning in even moderate rain at highway speeds. Practically no snow traction.

I have 2 brand new Hyundai Sonata GLS' with these tires on them. The tires provide a soft and quiet ride but are not reassuring in rain and especially snow.
I have been in several situations when the car felt like it was floating under me in...

Pros: standard item on new volvo - N/C
Cons: very short lifespan, approx. 22,000 mi.

It came standard item on my wife's 2000 S70 GLT. I kept recommended tire pressure stated on car's ow ...
