You must be referring to the Primacy MXV4 - correct? In the 215/55-16 stock size? Those do last a crazy long time. I ask because Michelin now makes a Primacy MXM4 which I have on my 9-3SS, and a Primacy summer tire which would not last too long. And Primacy Alpin, etc etc.
Are you rotating them every 5K? I normally rotate at 10K but with tire issues it needs to be more frequent to let the rears take the hit as well. Also have found that once a tire starts to wear unevenly they tend to continue to wear unevenly, hence it is even more critical to keep rotating front to back.
Obviously there is something else going on here but not sure what.
