the energy MXV4s are being used by Volvo, Mercedes and BMW (X5) as OEM tires on some of their new cars

The MXV4 Plus is a horrible tyre

My dad has them on his Saab and the suck in the snow,wet and dry, the only good thing is that they are quiet

I feel that it is possible to get a much better tyre at a far lower price

If Maxima2k2 need an all season tyre I would reccomend that he looks at the Toyo TPT
