Hello all from Tire Rack
The initial tire that came out was the MXV4 as a replacement for many of the Energy MXV4 sizes. They have a lot better overall traction and such compared the older Energy's.
Then they started making the MXM4 which is an addition to the line, not so much a replacement at this point. It is built with their Green-X tech unlike the V4's. That tire contains a sunflower oil infused compound to help increase the wet and snow traction.
So, if you see a bit more snow the MXM4 would be a tad better option, light to moderate snow the MXV4. You typically don't see them both in the same size at the same time, but it does happen. Jury is still out on the MXM4 as it's a very new tire but I've had really good feedback from the MXV4.

Hey Neal, i have a 07 G35 Coupe with Sport package on it's 19in wheels. I'm looking to go down a couple sizes and get a winter setup.
was looking at this:
17x8 MOTEGI RACING MR118 Black Painted x4
225/55R17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 Blackwall x4 (all around - not a staggered setup like stock)
Do you think this should work?
The other option is:
17x7.5 Sport Edition A7 Silver Painted x4
225/50R17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 Blackwall x2
225/55R17 Bridgestone Blizzak WS70 Blackwall x2 (staggered setup)
Just trying to decided between thses two setups

Neal,
I'm looking for 2x 275/40/19's and 2x 245/45/19's .I'm looking into A/S tires... It rains a lot out here in the PNW, and we get occasional snow. Currently I'm running Bridgy RE050A's.. Here's my top 3 replacements based on internet ratings, what do you recommend?
1. Continental ExtremeContact DWS
2. Michelin PilotSport A/S Plus
3. Yokohama ADVAN S.4
Feel free to recommend anything not on that list. thanks.

Hi Neal
Just wanted to say "Thanks for the quick Service
" I ordered the Tire Rack 2T Aluminum service floor jack late on Dec 16th and I received it on the afternoon of Dec 21st up here in the Great White North. Great service. The jack looks great, and should serve me well
Thanks,
Wayne
