Very keen to get primacy 4 for my current tyres. But there is no such size for the rear. Any suggestions? Change to other sizes ?

I think 245/40 Primacy 4 dont have. So far i search for PS4 or BS RE003/004 with that size. Unless u down size Primacy 4 have 235/40.

Have you changed your one ??

I was checking for size of 215/50/R17 and based on my survey, per unit around RM425 - RM478 within KV

How were the P4s at high speeds and cornering?

And are you on stock rims? 16" on E36 seems like a daily beater car haha

Yes this is one of my daily beater car. 325i with 16 inch rims. So far done a few outstation trips cruising at 120 to 140kmph it has been stable and good. Good in the rain as well. Will give more feedback after I run the Primacy 4 for longer.

Actually PS4 also can reach 40-50k km for mostly normal driving provided you do rotation every 15 or 20k km.

I rotate my tyres every 5,000 km and check pressure every 2 weeks. Yet my 2 sets of PS4 lasted below 30k km only sad.gif

Maybe due to my car being a powerful turbocharged FWD ( Remaped S60 T5 ) and I do drive it fast and hard it wears faster.

This is my 2nd set of PS4 which lasted me 27,000km. I feel the rear 2 can still go for another 3000km but I'm not risking it as I travel outstation a lot at high speeds.

One thing to note on Michelin tyres. They are expensive but they perform well from new until worn . Unlike other brands which only perform well when new and halfway thru the performance and grip drops dramatically. PS4 dry grip and dry handling actually improves when almost botak due to more rubber contact and less flex. The wet lateral grip is still good when worn due to the compound of the tyres. Only heavy rain easier to hydroplane.

PS4 handles and performs very well! Both dry and wet grip is damn good for street use. ESPECIALLY if you like to do touge runs up cameron or genting and push it to the limit making the tyres squeel and slip. Roadnoise NVH and comfort is also very good for a UHP tyre compared to my previous Pirelli P ZERO which was hard and loud as F. Only downside is the high price and wear rate.

Overall, I feel for the average road user who dont drive like a maniac and regularly attack corners hard a more comfort oriented touring tyre will suffice and get the job done in more comfort and give better milage and fuel economy.

Thats why Im trying out the PRIMACY 4 for my T5 Volvo. Hopefully it will last longer than 40k km for my usage.

My current criteria for tyres are
- Stable at High speed
- Good wet performance
- Good NVH and comfort
- Good mileage/ wear rate (at least 40k km)

Primacy 4 seems to fit the bill

GOT mine fitted 4 pc balance and alignment
215/50R17 Rm450/pc in Penang Island ADVANCE TYRE AUTOMART SDN BHD
Cheapest in Pg so far

Other shops selling at RM470 to RM490.

225/45R17 also around RM480 to Rm500 depending on shop.

Freshly fitted today and will report back after a few outstation runs.

You've worn them down to the belts! Looks like you like to drive fast particularly in the straight. Is your car lowered? Cuz seems a bit much negative camber too. You can try compensate a bit with slight toe-in alignment setting. I think Primacy will not last much longer, maybe just like 5k km, cuz the TW rating is not much higher than PS4 (only 340 vs 320). If you want more long lasting tires then need to get something around 400-500 TW rating but of course the grip performance won't be nearly as good.

What is the camber setting of this thing? Crazy wear on the outer. I think can increase tyre pressure a bit to compensate.
