I bought some tires at a local shop because I couldn't find them on tirerack. They are Michelin MXV4+ M/S 205/55/16. Do you carry these and I am just not seeing them?

They are there. Look under Energy MXV4 Plus.

DSinger is right, look under Energy MXV4 Plus. The MXV4 have been improved and updated, which is why TireRack doesn't carry the older generation MXV4s.

If you are looking for Michlein do a search with the tire size and select Michelin on the side.

P.S. Check out the Michelin Pilot XGT H4s. They are a more performance oriented tire then the Energy MXV4 Plus and have the same Tread wear rating of 400. Did I mention they are also cheaper

They are just called Pilot XGT H4. They are, indeed, the BEST buy on the market right now, bar none, in my opinion. I seriously considered them for my C280, but decided I wanted to go a more aggresive route, and therefore bought the Pilot SX-GT (a better buy than the Pilot XGT V4 if you don't need all season capability).

I see the regular MXV4+ but not the M/S (mud & snow) models which I bought for the winter here. It's not really that big of a deal but I just wantd to see how much cheaper the Tirerack was.

I am slmost sure that all MXV4 where M+S rated. If michelin has a tire with 4 at the end, it descirbes 4 season tire or all-season.

all I have to say is thanks, Charlie. You're making my job easy.

as to the comments on M&S ratings, Chalie is correct.

No Problem Luke, Glad to do it. Hey I just got my catalog in the mail today. I LOVE IT. I now know which wheels are 1-piece and hwich ones are 2-piece/multipiece. I have the tires listed with the UTOG directly under it. It breaks down everything perfectly.

The tread is diffrent than the regualr MXV4+. My sidewalls also say "M/S"

It might be becuase there were many different versions:

MXV4
Green X MXV4
MXV4+
Energy MXV4
Radial XSE MXV4
MXV4 ZP

All of them however are all-season. The M+S rating is there if you look on the tire, It might not be as bold as on other MXV4 variations though.

If its an MXV4 or just an MX4, XW4, XH4, XGT 4, XGT V4, XGT H4, Pilot XGT H4, Pilot XGT V4, Pilot XGT Z4.

Basicaly the 4 describes all-season, so no need to worry.

The only Michelin Tire that aren't M+S rated are:
Pilot Sports
Pilot MXX3 & MXX3 SX
Pilot SX GT
XGT Z/V
