Should be similar in terms of thread patterns, however the SUV tyres usually has stronger sidewalls to support higher loading.

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.

Hey James, how's your Primacy 4 doing comparing to your prev PS4? Me too having dilemma if I should move to Primacy from PS4. PS4 is great no doubt wet and dry, probably best I ever driven on but the tire noise and the bumpiness is bad especially after half worn.

How much of the handling deficit compare to PS4 and how's the wet grip like?

Hi, asked a shop and quoted RM495 a piece for Primacy 4 for 215/50R17

Is this a good price?

honestly I would avoid Klang Hin Leong...their service and attitude sucks. Been like this for years. I'm sure you can find other better tyre shops in the area, for similar price.

changed 4 pcs of Primacy 4 for 225/45 R18. Price is RM610 each. All alignment,balancing, new valve, and nitrogen gas included. The first impression, its a rather quiet tires and almost reduce significantly. High speed is still good but of course, used before PS4 which is more planted and the steering feel is better.

Do you think it's worth trading the PS4 for Primacy (price aside)? I am having the same dilemma if to go for Primacy because I can't stand the noise of PS4. I do some spirited driving once a while but that's it. Aside from the noise, it's pretty prefect and love the wet handling of it.

Been using Primacy 4 for about 1500km, overall the noise is rather lower than PS4 but still being in Malaysia road condition the tire sound still there on poor road conditions or old tarmac. For handling overall Primacy is okay unless you push it hard and it will slip. PS4 still has the wining edge here. If you love spirited driving, i think just stick back to PS4 as when you need the moment, your desire will be fulfilled but Primacy 4 may have the limitation that may make you disappointed during the "spirited driving moment"

If really comfort and day to day to work or chill drive, Primacy is a better tires than most brands there.
