Tires: S70 Volvo 1998, michelin mxv4, load index
QuestionMichelin specifies that the tire for this car is a MXV4 Primacy 195-60-R15 88V or H. Can I install Michelin MXV4 Energy Plus 195-60-R15 97H or 98H? Can I use a combination of different load index's (97 and a 98H) on the same car?
Thanks, Greg
AnswerGreg,
The Energy MXV4 in a H rating should perform satisfactorily on your vehicle without sacrificing ride or performance. For a more specific, Michelin, response you may want to send this question to one of the other gentlemen as I am not a fan of the Michelin products due to past "Real" life experiences.
A general rule of thumb is to NOT mix load ramges and speed ratings for SAFETY and performance reasons.
