The Michelin Energy MXV4+ is widely regarded as a comfort-oriented touring tire that excels in noise reduction and ride quality. While it is praised by some for its longevity and value as an OEM replacement, others report significant performance limitations, particularly regarding steering feedback and traction in high-temperature or high-speed conditions.

What owners say

No road-test results yet, so every score here comes from owner reviews found online.

How scores work

Relative score: 0–100. Blends road tests (60%) and owner reviews (40%) category by category, the same way on every TireWheelGuide page. With only one of the two, the missing half is estimated from it, so the score stays closer to average. It needs at least one road test or five owner reviews.
Road tests: 0–100 per score, from published tests, newer tests counting more. Each result is compared with every other tire in the same test, so a win against a strong field counts for more. The average tested tire gets 70, the best 100; with only one or two tests a tire stays nearer 70. The discipline rows show % of the best tire in that test.
Owner reviews: 0–100 from the owner reviews we found online, adjusted for how generously each site rates and scaled like the road tests: the average tested tire gets 70. With only a few reviews a tire stays near the average.

Worth knowing

Users noted that the tire's comfort-focused design is well-suited for mild, daily driving but becomes unsettling on larger or heavier vehicles at speeds exceeding 120km/h.
Owners of mid-size sedans, such as the Subaru Legacy, reported a positive experience when using the tire as an upgrade from standard factory equipment.
