3 primacy mxv4 h rated 1 premier h rated
Ok so i am wondering if i have 3 primacy mxv4 h rated tires and 1 premier h rated tire on my ES350 2007 model
what will i notice ?
no i am not insane i am just a member of the screwed up family from my tire being bad and they will now replace it with road hazard but all they have available is the Premier Michelin tire in my size
Apparently Michelin does not carry the Primacy MXV4 in the H rated anymore or at least tire kingdom doesn't carry them and can't get it
so they will replace with the Premier which they say is comparable so i am wondering
what will i notice is my car going to pull to one side ?
am i going to slip when in the snow this winter will i loose traction easier ?
will my MPG go down and star tto suck ?
thanks

I also understand the Michelin MxV4 Primacy is only available in V speed rating at least in the Lexus ES tire size. Just bought 4 for my '14 ES.
I doubt you will notice any difference since the tires are made by Michelin and have the same performance ratings. Only a true car nut will notice the visual difference
If you are overly concerned, then buy 2 premier tires and match them up on the same axle (front or rear). Sell the orphan Primacy tire at a premium since its out of stock.

Every zone has a Michelin Rep. Find out out who yours is. Ask him it its ok to use an h rated premier with 3 h rated Primacys. on your ES. If he says no, then explain the warranty situation. If he says yes, then you should be ok.

I realize I live in Canada so it could be different for you. I went to the Michelin website and used the "contact us" option.
.Not happy with the answer I got,I then went to a tire shop and they gave me the reps' email addy. tsk tsk I got the same answer. This had to do with the $70.00 rebate. All 4 tires had to be bought from the same dealer and all on the same inv. I had a hard time finding all 4 tires from the same dealer as the tires were discontinued but were deeply discounted. Most only had 2 or 3 tires in the size I wanted.

i went on the website also to contact them the respons i got was it's best to replace both tires on axle at same time
no **** they want to make money and for me to buy another tire would be great but still didn't get any reaspons to them about mixing the 3 maybe ill jsut go drive over 4 or 5 nail's with the other tire and have them both repalce lol

Now you have the excuse for them to replace BOTH tires on the same axle as its not your fault one tire is defective. Since they recommend both tires on the same axle should be the same they should give you prorated warranty on the other tire as well.

another thing that i had asked is about the Primacy H and V tires they said that i can mix the primacy mxv4 H with the V rated tire i know i would rather have the Primacy then the premier i think they havn't been out long enough for me to find out the info i want to know about how good they truly are and what i have heard about them not many people like them and regret going with them.
Ross, you can mix the Primacy tires as long as the tire on the same axle is within 1 inch of each other. As far as Mixing the 1 Premier A/S and 3 Primacy, we can not recommend. If going with the Premier A/S tire we would recommend that you replace the one on the same axle as well.
