Seems like you confused between Primacy 4 vs Primacy 4st. Primacy 4 is used mostly in Europe while Primacy 4st is used in APAC.
There could be some OE Primacy 4 around but in the replacement market Primacy 4st is the one to go for in Malaysia. They are probably using different tread compound but pattern stays the same.
Current price list from my table shows as below:
Kumho Ecsta PS31 225/50R17 345
Goodyear EfficientGrip 225/50R17 420
Yokohama Advan Fleva V701 225/50R17 425
Continental UC6 225/50R17 450
Continental Max Contact 6 225/50R17 458
Michelin Primacy 4st 225/50R17 568
Michelin Pilot Sport 4 225/50R17 (NEW PS5) 630
If price is not an issue I would definitely recommend Primacy 4st. If not MC6 is a close finisher at second place. I made an article about MC6 vs 4st here. I hope this helps you decide.
Thanks.
Just curious performance wise does it differs very much between the two as I previously looking at their PS3 range too? If i am not mistaken country of production was also different right with one made in France and the ST made in Thailand.There could be some OE Primacy 4 around but in the replacement market Primacy 4st is the one to go for in Malaysia.

Falken also had the same concept where its tires (ZE310) was winning various awards while there also South East Asia version made in Thailand with added "R" behind making it ZE310R. Info is hard to get by if the Thailand made was equally good as European version
