FYI,
I had these up to 110 today safely for all traffic and was thoroughly impressed with the simple Bubble balance at Sears. I have over 1000 k miles now and I drive er 80-90 often and these are better than the primacy H's. Dirt cheap. Thanks Warm

Rotated my GY's at 5-6k and shake shimmy steering wise I was happy again . My MPG has gone down only a mile or so, less than the last set of primacies probably do to the squishy deep tread blocks of a grand touring A/S tire?.
One of the best tires, especially for the money, I have had in memory. They are wearing well, very quiet and drive fine. thanks warm

My Primacy's have about 8-9k on them now. They have become more smooth and very quiet over that time...initially they ran a little rougher and way more noisy than the OEM Dunlops they replaced (that had 15k on them). Car tracks straight as an arrow with minimal to no steering play.

Fro...keep an eye on the 160 dollar rebates they run em a few times a year and this last rebate had to be 2 plus month long. Get the V rated tire either way GY or MICH IMO. It shows ya the markup in tires when they can rebate ya 160 bucks on 4

If you have a Discount Tire stores around you, don't have to wait for rebates, etc. You can negotiate with those guys. Last week I got the Michelins and got a very nice discount on a package with lifetime balance/rotation and tire protection warranty. They added some kind of $50 instant rebate, gave balance/rotation/mounting for free and tire warranty heavily discounted. All you have to do is ask.

wow, wish I had one of those out here. I just put Mich x-ice2's on my stock 17s. I have a set of 18s waiting for tires for after the winter so Im having a tough time spending the extra for the primacies vs these comfortred tourings.
