Overall Michelin Primacy 4 better than XM2+, XM2+ may be long lasting compare with Michelin Primacy 4. Primacy 4 the most comfort & low noise in Michelin tyre model, compete with Bridgestone Turanza.

I beg to differ, the pricing is not double. For the same size, it’s less than 100 ringgit difference in Malaysia, even primacy vs pilot sport is within similar price gap. The XM2+ certainly can achieve 100k mileage while primacy 4 only can do around ~60k but with better grip and comfort. For outright grip definitely go for Pilot Sport 4 while sacrificing comfort and mileage(~40k).

This is based on my own experience using all the Michelin models mentioned albeit xm2 & xm2+ was on a lighter car. Prior experience with the XM2 and I can say the new XM2+ which adopt more advance silica from primacy did narrowed the previous large gap between Michenlin entry series vs Primacy.

Yes the price not double, I mentioned nearly. I'm using PS4( Tufbo car) & Turanza for MPV. In my area Ipoh & Batu Gajah Primacy4 price nearly like PS4, for example before PKP 225/50/17 PS4 RM495, Primacy4 RM455. Don't know latest price. My friend changed XM2 55/R16 for RM225, I'm not really follow XM price & size. May be different location different size coz my friend said Rawang had cheaper price.
