TR recommended the primacy MXV4 when I called them with that size on my car. I wanted good wet, quiet, smooth, handling, life in that order. Snow didn't matter as I run snows. They recommended the MXV4 over the turanza serenity plus and any others.
I agree! For normal traveling, I prefer to stay away from directional tires. Even though I prefer to rotate my tires from front to back on the same side of the vehicle over the life of the tire, I still want the choice to move the tires to the other side of the vehicle should need be.
I've had too many broken/slipped belts on tires over the years(even the newer tires of today) as for what I believe is from, side to side or "X" rotations. I still believe in keeping the tires going in one rotation even though the tire mfg's say we can do otherwise.
When I keep my rotations from Front-Back, I personaly have had much, much better success in keeping my tires to the end of their life
This may not be the optimal way of rotating our tires but, it works better for me in the long run.
