Michelin Primacy MXV4 Tires Long-term Test
Wednesday, November 07, 2007
Last July, Michelin offered us the opportunity to test their new Primacy MXV4 all-season tire over an extended period of time. So, we looked for someone who travels a lot, day in and day out, in all sorts of driving and road conditions. He or she should be able to regularly comment on the tire's performance and the vehicle's overall operation. Our search quickly led us to the perfect candidate. One of our acquaintances criss-crosses the whole province of Quebec each and every week; her job is to register blood donors at various mobile clinics. She's always driving from one city to another, always on a different road, whether it's a highway, a country road, a city street or even a gravel road -- and regardless of what Mother Nature throws at her.
