Michelin since PSS is moving to all models with kevlar construction. I yet to drive Bridgestone tire (and I ahd quite a lot of their models) that does not "weigh" more in driving. As UG_Passat said, these seem on lighter side for a Birdgestone tire, if you look at their Potenza line up, you will see that depending on size, they are usually 2-5lbs heavier than comparable Michelin.
As for all season in light snow? I always have two sets of tires, but I did try Bridgestone Duale H/L in snow (just to see) and Drive Guard I have on Sienna, and they are absolute POS in snow. I have on wife's car Continental DWS for summer and fall, and tried them in snow, and they behave much better than Bridgestone. I personally would not bet on bridgstone all season for any meaningful snow performance. I would say Continental is probably best bet of these top tier tires. But Continetal is not available in Costco.


Tire size is 235/40/19. The QuietTrack is 3 lbs heavier than the MXM4.

With Continental, the sidewalls are soft and they have road noise problems.

And yes, I am getting the tires from Costco. And I have the I boiled down the choices with the Turanza QuietTrack or the Primacy MXM4.

According to the tirerack reviews, the MXM4 does not have good wet traction/light snow.

I do not have any issues with Cntinental DWS on wife's car, but again, yo getting tires from Costco.
Premier A/S is serious tire in wet, and it should do good in snow. I had their LTX version on BMW X5. It had ridicilous wet performance when it comes to braking and handling. However, downside of that tire is premature wearing.
I really cannot say that any tire you want is going to do good in snow. Again, Bridgestone all seasons I tried in snow are absolutely abysmal. MXM4 based on design is not going to be good either, my take. They do not make Premier A/S in that size?
And for the love of God why that size on Camry (just me wondering).

Thank you for being helpful.

I was gonna try the DWS. But from the information I have gathered from the reviews. They become loud and sidewalls are soft. With low profiles tires, I cant afford to have a bent wheel. Also road noise is another concern.

The Premier A/S, how is the tire road noise?

The MXM4 has low road noise. And the new Quiettrack is suposedly be quieter. But with treadwear of 800 at 80,000 miles, not sure on how it will go.

I usuall prefer treadwear tires around 500/50k is good. But it does not always turn out to be that way.

235/40/19 because it is the XSE model. The top model for the camry. So it has larger rims to make it sporty. I myself prefer 16-18 rims

If anything, the Bridgestone will wear quicker than the Michelin, or you might need to replace them early due to road noise/traction. Bridgestone can make a good tire that doesn't wear long(Potenza RE760, 90x and S-0x series) or lasts long but doesn't age well(Turanza EL/Ecopia series).


Where did you source this?

Personal experience, I just never had luck with Bridgestone and tire life. The Potenza RE950s I had a while ago on a old car were a great tire but short-lived.

Michelin did use a shallower tread on the Premier A/S and LTX. It makes up for that with more and deeper siping that "opens" up as the tire wears as well as dual layer compounding. It also uses sunflower oil instead of the usual heavy oil addition to help keep the tread compliant when it gets cold outside.

If you considered Continental DWS, than consider Michelin Pilot A/S 3+. DWS is performance A/S tire.

They dont have it for my tire size. They have the Pilot 4S.
According to tire rack. If I want Michelin, I only have the option of MXM4 for All Season.
