Am now deciding between Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and Primacy 4. After doing some reading online, here are some key points that I have managed to pick up:Pilot Sport 4:1) Softer rubber compound which results in better contact on the road. Stickier = Better precise handling.2) Because of point (1), it should perform better in the wet.3) Because of point (1), fuel economy is somewhat not as good when compared to the Primacy 4.4) You can hoon the car around a bit when the situation requires.5) Because of point (1), these wear out faster when compared to the Primacy 4.Primacy 4:1) Slightly harder rubber compound. Less sticky. Some drivers feedback of floaty handling. I do not like floaty cars.2) Because of point (1), it is not as effective in the wets when compared to the the Pilot Sport but does not mean that it is bad.3) Because of point (1) fuel economy is slightly better than the Pilot Sport 4.4) These *should be quieter BUT some users feedback that the new Primacy 4 are not as quiet as the previous generation.5) They last longer when compared to the Pilot Sport 4.I am more inclined towards the Pilot Sport 4 because I tend to drive fast and do not like to waste time on the road. Moreover, the 3GT is a heavy boy and it makes sense to keep it better grounded on the road. However, I am drawn to the positives of the latter but it seems to compromise on the safety a tad bit.It would be great if any BMW drivers who have used the Primacy 4 over here in Malaysia can share your experiences using the Primacy 4. Are they good? I've always stuck to the OEM tire specs.</blockquote>
