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 
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.
