Hi - new to this forum. I am about to buy new tires for my 2004 TSX, and have always used the Michelin MXM4. I heard that the V4 was better in the snow, and living in the Midwest, that's important for me. Anyone have input? Thanks!

I'll confess first that I'm not a Michelin fan but, between these two tires, I'd probably go for the Primacy (the MXV4) since it scored better on the Tirerack survey results. There are two versions, a V rated one with a 95 load rating that's $12 a piece more than the MXM4, or the H rated one that's $3 a piece more, though it's load rating is 91. There's a $70 rebate on 4 no matter which one you chose (that's at Tirerack, though I assume the rebate must be in effect everywhere)

I just bought a set of MXM4 for my car, pretty sure they are V rated.

I know it's been a year, but what did you end up getting? I currently have Michelin Primacy MXV4's on my 2004 TSX and they have been very good. I got them 7 years ago to replace the original tires that came with my TSX when I got it in 2003. My current MXV4's have almost 67,000 miles on them (they have a 60,000 mile warranty). I am in Ohio and with snow coming I need to replace them.

Act of God

I have the OEM MXM4's on my 2009, and they are an absolute nightmare in the snow. We only had two major storms this year (NY) and both times I had to drive. No bueno. Likely life-threatening. I'm beyond disappointed and now I have to get new tires at only 28,000 miles.

I'll probably run with the Conti DWS, I had them in my previous car and they were great.
