prefer comfort than primacy for sure..

it might kill your tire faster.
if primacy is what you after... 80k km only change new set is not abnormal yea...

You free to play around 200~280kpa and i think you mean kpa? Cause normal tire has 300~350kpa max or 40psi max (cold air)

What? 80k KMs only change tyres? What tyre can last 80k?

What's so surprising? Someone here used XM2 for over 100k, if not mistaken I think it's zeng

Anyone use UC7 before?

Ya just change last month.

More comfy and less road noise than bridgestone potenza re004.

Yes, I'd been having 115 +-K km with several pairs of XM2 (185/70R14) over the past decade or so.

Note: With a residual tread depth of 2.0 -2.5 mm 'ish vs manufacturer recommendation of 1.6 mm tread depth for tyre replacement.


Current front and rear pairs of XM2 have done 50K and 22K km respectively thus far - and is probably good to repeat history again.

That's not true!

I'd been doing 40psi (275 kpa) with XM2 all these while.

Have u tried primacy 4 before? Was wondering how it compares to primacy 4

Primacy can last about 80k, PS can last about 50k

Both under normal drive yea...

How do you make them last 100k?

Like 50kmh all the time?

Got but that was back in 2020 and primacy tyre now so expensive almost 600+ per donut.

I can't tell the performance but comfort and noise is pretty similar.

common sense a bit can or not?

Huh? Serious here... I'm mostly 100kmh or so and I get 40k with primacy3(correction, was using primacy3 not 4) with Sonata YF. You get 80k with whatever car you are driving... so I'm wondering half the speed?

my bad then, air pressure is good?

I was using altis back then air pressure at front 240kPA; rear 230/220kPA. This air pressure thing, you need to feel with your butt on the best combination when coasting, over holes / bump. In Altis 10th Gen, I feel it was the best combination.
Pen <--> KL once a month.... speed about 130+
Then changed to PS4 used for 30k then sold off the car due to MCO and not back to office until today.

Having another myvi with me on PS3, can use almost 60k still not touching the 1.6mm yet but changed for peace of mind.

+edit: Yes that was Primacy 3, then I changed to PS4 after Primacy almost touching the 1.6mm

I 'followed' tyre manufacturer recommendation on tread wear indicator mark of 1.6 mm depth and 10 year old rules on tyre replacement.

Socalled tyre rot, roughened, scratches, hairline cracks, tyre noise, tyre hardening etc etc fear mongering are not the criteria of replacing tyres.

Most importantly, wheel alignment (as and when necessary or once in 2-3 years).

Bro, so far which shop best alignment you get? Tired of sending my Gen2 to different alignment shop each time need to go back redo again due to steer to left. It's not due to worn out parts as this symptom since new car already behave like this, and last year I've spent over 2-3k replace all undercarriage parts.

Yes... Im not changing tyres before it reach the indicator mark got 'even' with the surface...
