@neanderthal : maybe I was expecting a bit of a sportier ride. Compared to the conti's, (same class) they feel a bit squishy in the corners. Keep in mind that I don't drive this car aggressively because it is always fully loaded with appliance parts (heavy!), plus, I have a pretty fast sports car if I ever fancy a speeding ticket.

I will admit that the ride comfort is better, but looking at the tire rack data, only marginally better.

I think in the real world, the conti and the mxv4 are nearly identical. I just can't see how anyone can justify a 10% better tire at a 50% higher price.
