Michelin Primacy MXM4 (AO) 255/40R20 101H XL

Overview
The Michelin Primacy MXM4 (AO) is a touring all season tire manufactured for passenger vehicles and SUVs. The tire’s all weather traction is the result of the combination of the high-grip Helio compound, that utilizes sunflower oil to keep it flexible, even in colder winter temperatures, and the 3D Variable Thickness Sipe Technology, that places differing siping designs across the tread area for an enhanced winter weather grip. The tire grips the road remarkably in dry, wet and winter conditions as a result. The model’s circumferential grooves prevent hydroplaning by eliminating water and slush from below the tire footprint, making the year round driving experience safer.The model offers an enjoyable drive. The road vibrations and pattern noise were reduced with the Comfort Control Technology that offers an optimized tread area and precision manufacturing. The optimized tread area lowers the road noise generated while the tires are in motion, while the precision manufacturing provides a tire shape that sticks to the road and follows its surface at all times, lowering the road vibrations felt in the vehicle’s cabin. These aspects create a comfortable and quiet driving experience.The Max Touch Construction offers a longer lasting tread life. It spreads the driving pressure out evenly along the tread area and its equal distribution of the forces of acceleration, cornering and braking prevents irregular wear patterns from forming on the tread. The longer lasting even wear extends the tire’s usability and tread life.The model is also easily controlled and it has exceptional cornering and maneuvering ability. The internal twin steel belt structure is further reinforced with spirally wrapped nylon cords provided by the BAZ or Banded At Zero Technology. This stabilizes the tread area and increases the steering responsiveness and accuracy and the driving stability. The tire is stabilized against the driving pressure affecting it and it becomes quick and precise in its response to the driver’s commands. The asymmetric tread design’s outer shoulder tread blocks improve the cornering ability and power by providing additional biting edges. As a result, the tire becomes effortless to control in all conditions.The Primacy MXM4 (AO) was made as the original equipment tire for Audi vehicles. It received the AO’ marking, meaning Audi Original, for its safety and durability during high speed driving. The tire went through numerous tests to be approved as an Audi Original model. It’s manufactured to bring out the best potential of the vehicle it is mounted on.
