You got 50K out of your Primacies?

Wow, I replaced ours at 30K. It looked like they had more life left in them (possibly 7K mi) but since I had to replace one with a new one and I did not want to go back to the Primacies, I replaced all 4.
ps. Ended up with Falken Azenis ST115 in 225/45/17. They are extremely quiet and grip better than the Primaces (no squealing either). They are better in the rain according to my wife. They ride a little harder and were difficult to mount because of the stiff sidewall. Nobody has noticed any tramlining going on. It looks like their treadwear rating is bogus as it's pretty soft rubber. I can see getting about 25K out of them. I got them for $100 apiece including shipping. Recommended although I bet the S-03s would be better.
pss. Had to replace them because a huge bolt had gone through the tire rather close to the sidewall. I plugged it temporarily but since it was close to the sidewall, I started looking for tires and kept my wife's car off the highway until then. Note that the hole was actually large enough that the plug did not even hold all that well. Since I was replacing two tires and I did not want to stick with the Primacies, I went with 4 new ones. You'll be happy when you upgrade the Primacies although they're not too shabby in their own rite.
