Michelin Primacy MXV4
Just got new tires put on my 1997 Park Avenue and I had to share how much of a difference they made. The car is so much smoother and handles bumps just like my Cadillac used to, totally worth the $700+ for anybody looking for a nice smooth ride. So much better than the old Goodyear Eagle LSs I had before.

Re: Michelin Primacy MXV4
I hope you continue to have a great experience with the tires. The tires on the wife's CTS (Michelin) have a Nylon cord - that means a flat spot on the tires until they become warm, as in thump, thump, thump, thump. Michelin does have the best customer service, at least in my opinion. - BC

Those are the same tires I just put on my Bonnie and love them too. I had the flat spot problem with the Pirelli's that were on it, but never with these.

Had these on the Limo. They were great until they dry rotted and got noisy just before I sold it. Haha

Great Tires! My grandparents put these on my 02 right before they gave it to me. That was 6 years ago and they still 8/10 tread left! The only problem is that they are weather checking and I will have to replace them soon.

Re: Michelin Primacy MXV4
I just replaced a set of these on my Lesabre. They lasted 100K and were still good except for snow. I bought the same tires at BJs, very low price and excellent mount/balancing in Waterford.

Re: Michelin Primacy MXV4
Have a reputable tire guy at a store that is not captive, i.e., sells a mix of brands and is not a Goodyear, Firestone, etc. store. Ask him off the record if the problem is appearance on the sidewall with the checking or drying or if it's happening between the tread rows where the cracks eventually let salt and water in deep to the steel belts and speed their failure.KVH2002 wrote:Great Tires!

In other words, if the car is not in danger from tread separating and flying off at 80 mph, I might consider keeping the tires for my own style of driving with my car. In fact I did that with my Harmony tires on the 03; bought new ones after the tread was down at 40% just because I wanted deep tread for driving in winter snow, if we had any snows that deep.
