Who is only getting 10K out of the Michelin MXM4?? Seems impossible. 10K??
I don't know, but the MXM4 are horrible tires, looking forward to mine wearing out and replacing them.

Get every mile you can out of the factory supplied tires. They are the best tire quality for that given tire that you wil ever own.No, I would not say a lot of road noise at all. I have 10,480 miles and I rotated at 5250. I always rotate every 5-5250 miles and maintain 32/33 PSI checked bi monthly. Despite my EX's first brutal NJ winter, I never hit a pothole or curb and my EX still tracks completely straight with no pull to either side.
Indeed they are. I threw mine away after about 15k miles on them.I don't know, but the MXM4 are horrible tires, looking forward to mine wearing out and replacing them.
No.Hi,
Even though I have ONLY 10,480 miles on my 2013 EX sedan with the Continentals that have been wearing perfectly even all around, I have seriously been considering upgrading to either the
Michelin MXV4 or the Pirelli Cinturanto P7. Would either of these tires really be a huge improvement in both road noise and ride comfort? The guys
at Tire Rack tell me it would be a night and day difference and a HUGE improvement. But than again, they just wanna sell tires.
Judging from how my Continentals are wearing, I would estimate I could squeeze out around 35-40K or so.
Thanks
This might explain why a set of new, lesser-name replacement tires with an almost identical tread pattern to the worn out Michelins they replaced resulted in a hydroplane crash on a road I had driven wet dozens of times, including on the older tires with no incident.Get every mile you can out of the factory supplied tires.

The tire industry works such that the manufacturers get the best tires (so your car rides like a dream during the test drive), then TireRack and Discount get the 2nd quality level, then it trickles down from there. All tires are checked for spin balancing and the tires are rated in quality at the factory and sent out accordingly. Note the sometimes yellow or orange dots on the sidewalls.
When the tire molds/dies get old, they ship them off to the next lower quality tire company. Hate Cooper Tires well then try Belle Tire MasterCrafts. Hey, you might get lucky, or you might have a fistful of lead to keep your car from driving like a clown car.

From my experience that dot lines up with the valve stem.I thought the dot was to line it up with the valve stem...........................manufacturing quality doesn't matter much when the performance of the tire sucks.
This is wrong!Get every mile you can out of the factory supplied tires. They are the best tire quality for that given tire that you wil ever own.

Agreed. OEM are not the best tires. I thinking about the Michelin Pilot Sport AS3.This is wrong!
The factory supplied tires are the cheapest tires the manufacturer can get, and normally those don't last long, just good enough for a good test ride!
Aftermarket tires are of better quality. I get rid of my OEM tires as soon as I get a new car and install Michelin MXV4, much better than any original tire. Just check tire rack test results and comments.
