Luke: Michelin Primacy MXV4 or Pilot Exalto A/S

Looking for a tire with quiet ride and good comfort. Also want good snow/wet performance especially braking. If the pilot exalto doesn't give up too much snow/wet performance and provides better handling/braking I'd want that. Which do you think is a better tire for Boston driving? Want to buy today!

This is for a C320 4matic with 16 inch wheels btw.

depends on the weather
primacy = ride quality and road noise
Exalto = better grip and steering response

Thanks Luke, I think I'll go with the Primacy because I was happy with the Energy MXV4 plus.

I am assuming by road noise u mean lower road noise with the primacy.

Hey I know I'm reviving an old thread but how do you like the Primacys? I was going to get another set of Energy MXV4 Plus (I was lucky to get them on my car as OEM) but then found out about the Primacys replacing them. They are supposed to be as good for ride quality and low noise as the Energy but with even more longer life. My car has a hair under 40,000 miles and these are original, so I figure I have certainly gotten my money's worth.

Btw, do you remember how much you paid? I got quoted a price of $153 at the dealer for Primacys which seems to be very well priced.
