I recently replaced my Toyo tires with Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires and heard a noise from the driver front side brakes. I took it to the dealer and they called me to say they didn't hear noise. I told them to drive it fast and hit the brakes hard...they did and found the problem...it was the brake actuator. Our car only has 23,000 miles and I'm a little concerned that the brake actuator would go out in such a short period of time. Has anyone else had this problem? If so, how many miles on your car and when did you first encounter problem?

 

what kind of noise will you hear though? I need to test this on my wife's HS

 

Just curious, how much did that set of 4 Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires run you? And you replaced your tires at 23k miles.

 

Sorry to jump in, I also have the Primacy MXM4's and they ride pretty good. They were already on the car, but sounds like lots of people are happy with them. As you can see in the thread below.

I purchased the Primacy MXM4 tires from Discount Tires for around $180.00 each, excluding taxes and road hazard warranty. Also, I received a $70.00 and $30.00 rebate card from Discount tires ($30 for using their card and $70, which was a special at the time for buying 4 tires). I did purchase the road hazard, which ended being around another $20.00 each from what I remember. So around $800.00 plus taxes and disposable fees minus $100.00...which came out to total around $800.00 from what I remember. Note: You can go to Discount Tire's web site and price them out.

 

TonyHS,

I'm very happy with the MXM4's. Haven't had a problem with them since the install...and since the brake actuator was replaced. Note: The high screeching sound came from actuator, not the tires.

On another quick note: I'm very happy with the car. In fact, I like it more than my last Lexus RX350. It still runs great and gets around 30-32 MPG on average.

 

MXM4 are on sale for $128 each @ tirerack.com

 

Andy, do you mind shareing the build date of your car? I wonder if it's part of the new recall?
