another question for all, the pressure usually pump what? i go with 220psi as per suggestion from the driver seat there (i usually drive alone or max 1 passenger)

a friend mentioned that try to pump less than max to prolong tire life.. is that true?

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)

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

My hunch is your wheel alignment numbers were the culprit, never mind they are all greens and within oem specs.

The devils (of undesirable shorter tyre life) are always in the details.

Imho, tyre brand, tyre air pressure and driving speed etc are not so much a 'real' problem as most or all drivers here has got it quite right.

Well, Im using 215/55/R17... air pressure around 32 or 33 PSI.  The thing is that I used both PS3 and Primacy3 on the same car. Roughly 40k on both... hence why Im wondering how on earth did some of you get double my mileage...

Agree to what zeng mention. It could be your alignment issue and your tyre pressure could be on lower side,
but again it is about the feeling - IMHO, the factory recommended air pressure is the minimum, and when coast, can you feel your car wanna slow down or maintain the speed is the key; if it wanna slow down then your air pressure is low.

Secondly, do you fetch a lot of weigh in your car such as boot full of equipment, always full load and etc?
Meantime can you describe how your tyre when it is fully used? It is eating a side (the side nearer to car body or facing outside) of the tyre or as a whole?

If as a whole, still most likely air pressure / high load, if a side then you have some other problems.
