Best Tires

[Davioj]

Read on the forms about the Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires or the Emergy MXV4 S8 tires, can only find primacy in H94, Energy in V95, anyone know which will give the best fuel milage as both are rated as good rolling resistance tires and I see some use the primacy and some use the energy.

You might consider visiting tirerack.com or discounttiredirect.com, looking up tires for your vehicle, then selecting those two tires for comparison. Those site will provide you with professional and private owner reviews of the tires and how they perform, and in that way you'll be able to garner more opinions/information about the tires.

To give some perspective:
From the factory, Camry Hybrids come either with Bridgestones or the Michelin Energy tires that you mentioned- and both are rated the same in terms of mileage.

My hybrid came with the Bridgestones, which were crap. I replaced them with the Michelin Primacy MXV4 tires with an H rating, and my mileage actually went up 1-2mpg compared to the Bridgestones. (Although I keep my tires at 36-38psi)

So I imagine that they both would provide similar miles-per-gallon figures.

Plus, the MXV4's are usually cheaper and come with a treadwear warranty- which if I remember correctly, the Energy tires do not.

Primacy MXV4(Grand Touring All-Season) 95V

I just purchased 4 of the above tires to replace my original Michelin tires that have nearly 40,000 miles on them.

I like the Energy's better, but I think they're close enough in terms of mileage, and inflation will play the bigger role. Try Tirebuyer.com:

Michelin Primacy MXV4

Michelin Energy MXV4 S8

I prefer the Michelin Hydro Edge tire and it has an 80,000 mile warranty.

These are what I have ^^ and they actually have a 90k mile warranty. They are absolutely awesome in the rain and snow also, not the most quiet tire though that is the trade off.

I had these on my old camry. Got a bit over 100,000 miles of use out of them.

I'm running Michelin HydroEdges 8 months of the year. Best tire I've ever had. Michelin X-Ice2's the other 4, also a great tire. Neither of these will get you the best mileage, might lose 1mpg with the HydroEdge, but the usable life is over 80k. My winter mileage sucks (35) anyway so I try not to pay such close attention then.

I just sold my oem Bridgestone EL 400's and bought a set of 'H' rated Primacy MXV4's from Tire Rack for a quieter and softer ride.
I've bought these tires before and loved them.
My son has the Hydroedges on his Civic and they are noisy and ride rough because of the 90K mileage hard rubber but are great in wet weather and good in snow.

That's what I've noticed as well when I had them on my Corolla.

Good at first, but road noise got pretty unbearable once the tires started wearing out.

Hi,

I initially wanted to replace my factory Michelin's with a set of HydroEdge's but the tire shop I wanted to do business with couldn't them in stock for about a week, I didn't want to wait so I elected to go with the H rated Primacy MXV4's. Love them. I've had them on the car for about 3 weeks now and they run great. Low noise, stick to the road in dry and wet, and they have a 60K mile warranty. I keep them at Toyota's recommended 32 PSI and I feel like the car runs more efficiently down the road but I haven't studied the actual mileage closely yet. I did take a drive from Atlanta to Haines City, FL which is a 7.5 hour drive and a total of 476 miles. Made it down there on 3/4 tank of gas. Actually, the gas gauge needle was a half a notch over the 1/4 tank mark so I'm content I'm getting better mileage with these tires. When I took took this same trip last year (on the old tires), I don't recall having as much gas left in the tank.

Thanks.
