The Grand Touring All-Season Tire That Delivers Luxury Ride Quality, All-Weather Confidence, and Whisper-Quiet Comfort — Michelin Primacy MXM4 225/60R18 XL 104H
If your 2018–23 Chevrolet Equinox LT or 2017–18 Subaru Outback 3.6R Touring deserves more than an average replacement tire, the Michelin Primacy MXM4 225/60R18/XL 104H is the premium upgrade that makes every drive feel like the vehicle was designed around the tire — not the other way around.
The Primacy MXM4 is Michelin’s Grand Touring All-Season tire developed for luxury sedan and coupe drivers looking to combine all-weather handling and traction with good noise and ride comfort. Trusted as original equipment by Ford, Toyota, Nissan, Hyundai, and GM, this tire earns its place on premium vehicles not just by fitting — but by genuinely elevating the driving experience in every measurable way.
The Primacy MXM4 features an asymmetric tread design with circumferential grooves that channel water away from the tread for excellent wet-road traction. When cold weather strikes, the sunflower oil-enriched Helio Compound technology maintains traction while 3D variable sipes deliver biting edges for enhanced wet handling.
The Michelin Primacy MXM4 is an all-season tire made for luxury coupes and sedans. It handles well and offers the driver a smooth ride and good fuel economy. The Primacy MXM4 performs well in most weather environments including light snow.
Real Michelin Primacy MXM4 drivers confirm this performance daily: “These all season MXM4 tires are great. I’ve gotten these tires early 2025 and it’s been over a year and over 20,000 miles driven with these — all 4 tires still intact. Rain or shine and I’ve run into my share of potholes. These have been the best performing tires for me and comfort level is superb. Will forever re-purchase. Worth it!!!”
