OK - I don't need to replace my Continentals yet, but, do want a full size wheel and tire for a spare. Will want to replace the Continentals with Michelin when the time comes. My plan is to buy the Michelin tire for a spare and when the time comes to replace the Continentals (maybe 2-3 years from now), I will buy three more Michelin tires.

My understanding is that the Primacy MXM4 was new in 2011 - I know that this tire would work, but, do not know if mates will still be available in 2-3 years.

My understanding is that the Pilot Sport MXM4 was new in May 2013. I'm not sure that this tire will be good on my Mercedes and would hope to get feedback from anyone who has experience with this tire on a 2013 or 2014 Mercedes C300. I'm not sure because I had trouble with my Mercedes CLKs pulling to the right with Michelin Pilot Sports - only cured by replacing the tires with Primacies.

I'm looking for a very good riding tire (comfort/noise).

Any comments/suggestions/advice/experience will be greatly appreciated. Which would you get?

Thanks.

Don't buy a tire planning on using it in 2-3 years. Rubber ages. You don't want one old tire in your regular set even if you can find matching tires.

Exactly right! When the time comes, if ride and comfort are the priority, the Michelin Primacy MXM4 may be the best bet, but if its 2-3 years away, products do change, so you will need to review current data.
