Michelin Pilot Primacy
Option A: 205/60R15 91V
Option B: 205/60R15 91W
Which one is more comfortable? and more safe?

only difference is the speed they are rated too. V=149mph, W=168
I doubt your xantia will ever get to either of those speeds heh

V will last much longer and may be the more comfortable.

Tom, thanks for the tip - that was what I suspected...

Go for those primacy. Had them on a former Passat (before the C5 came along) and uau, were they something

I use V index on my 406 and it will go to 240kms/h, so...
Take care
