I switched out the OEM Michelin Primacy A/S tires on my 2021 Premium 4X yesterday at 19,000 miles and installed a new set of the Michelin Pilot Sport All Season 4 tires and boy what a difference that made. The ride is a lot smoother now and less bumpy than before and the corning feels a lot better. I may end up losing some range with these tires, but even if I do the improvement in ride and corning will be worth it.

The old Primacy's looked like this:

And the new Pilot Sport All Season 4 look like this:

Did you get wider ones too? The OEM 225 are way too narrow, when I get my MME (who knows when ) I will sell the OEMs and get 245 width immediately. I like PIRELLI SCORPION ALL SEASON PLUS 3 or Conti EXTREME CONTACT DWS06 PLUS

I stayed with the same 225/55/19 that came with the car. The Pilot Sport does not come in the 245 and I really like them on my 2021 Corvette, which is why I stayed with the 225's.

First thing we did on my wife's GTPE was switching to these Michelins pilots all season. 12500 miles and they look new and great in the snow.

Yeah, You can't really weigh how much better tire B is over tire A if tire A wasn't designed to be a slick in the first place. Having 8+ 32'ds of tread makes a massive difference in road noise, grip etc. Your old ones were 3/32's or less.

My FFe ended up with new tires in Nov because it was at 3/32'ds and I had no clue. I thought my alignment was trashed. Went from a $1000 set of tires with 3/32'ds tread to a $500 set of new (much crappier) 11/32ds tires and it's light years better.

Holy Cow that's some wear on those tires at 19K miles.
Yeah, as part of my second job as a field tester for Ford for their HVBJBs I am required to spend a lot of time out on back country roads (55 MPH limits) with a lot of hairpin turns, switch backs, elevation changes from 200 feet to 2,000 feet and a lot of full throttle events coming out of those turns and from 4 way stops in the middle of nowhere. It is not uncommon for me to put 180 miles on in one trip out there and come back ready to recharge with a huge grin on my face that does not go away for awhile. My day job is only 7 miles from home and I have only had the car a year now so you can see most of those miles have been for my side job as a HVBJB tester. So I was actually impressed with getting 19K out of the original set. :D

I am not a crazy driver at all, just a commuter, but my OEM tires are nearly done at 22k miles. Those Pilots sound good!

Those say max performance summer. I am looking for an all season touring. Only 20k warranty on those.
You looking at the link? Says all season in the description and 45k in the warranty as long as you use the same size front/back:

I just updated the link to only show the one that is the ultra high performance all season selection I purchased. They are running about $965 right now for a complete set of 4 delivered.

New tires always feel good. I just put my 12th set of BFG All Terrains on my F250, and will soon put new tires on the MME. I'm really leaning towards wider rims to put wider rubber on.

Your car is a test mule of a sort. Did they buy the tires I hope?
