Ended up getting a huge discount on my Michelin replacement tires at discount tire from the michelin warranty. If the Primacy Tour A/S were in stock it would have only cost $332 out the door, but those are on national backorder. I upgraded to the Michelin Cross Climates and that was $512 after the warranty discount. It seems like the warranty discount was around $150 a tire or so since those tires would cost around $1100 to install otherwise at $220 a tire. You do have to replace the tires with other Michelin's but most Michelin certified shops can replace them under warranty.
Definitely don't get another set of MXM4's at the service center. Those cost around $1200 out the door. Your mileage may vary. Same thing with Costco also, they may honor the warranty when you buy from them, but your first set won't be covered.
Just another reason why I have always used discount tire for over 20 years.
I was just around 17200 miles on MXM4's. My back 2 did not pass Texas state inspection below 2/32" tread depth. My front ones were around 4/32" but within warranty replacement guidelines. If I could have, I would have driven them a little further to delay the cost, but the inspection and doing a 3500 mile road trip forced my hand. I don't want to get stuck in winter weather with bald tires on my road trip.Good to know. How many miles were on your OEM tires and what were the tread depths when you replaced them?
I’ve gone through 4 sets of those and currently have them on two cars. It’s a very well balanced tire (in the metaphorical sense); I would classify it as very good at most everything, while being the absolute best at nothing. It has a supportive sidewall, which makes cornering quite satisfying, even though they do not provide the highest level of cornering grip. In this respect, I much prefer them to the MMX (their sidewall collapses in a most unsatisfying way under cornering, despite otherwise being rather firm). I also find the Pirellis predictable when they start to slide. Road noise is good, not quite as muted as say a new DWS, but they also don’t rumble a lot more when worn. I’ve also driven on them in a serious snowstorm; pretty decent for an all-season and, as far as I could tell, no worse than other M+S all seasons.
It’s been a while since I’ve had the AS3, but I liked them a lot. A bit more harsh then the Pirellis perhaps but with very good grip. For year-round giggles on above-US-average tarmac, I’d get the AS3. For about the same performance and a bit more comfort, without the roly-poly feel, I’d get the Pirellis again. The MMX should be relegated to Prius duty in dry locations with flat terrain.
They look very similar. Mine are Vossen HF3s.GTMG, are our wheels twins?...
ASA wheels and Conti Viking snow tires!
