72,000 miles and still original tires...

I did take them off for snow tires the last 2 winters, but these Michelins are wearing great. I have put about 40,00 miles on in the last year and a half running from St. Louis to Memphis every week. The tread is just now getting down to the wear bars.

I think you may have set some sort of record, you're one of those goofy types like me who rotates and balances them every 5,000 miles right?

What model of Michelin are you using ?\
I've been quoted on Michellin "Primacy" MXV4 91H.

He has an SS model which would have come through with Michelin Pilot HX MXM4 tires from the factory, they are more of a high performance/touring tire.

To elaborate on my earlier comments in your other post Hewbie, I had Michelin Primacy tires on two HHR's and found them to be almost treacherous in the rain. The last straw came with a long and lazy spin across 4 lanes of traffic while going 45mph.

It was a gentle spin, so much so, that I had time to give a sheepish wave to the terrified guy who suddenly found himself looking at the front of my HHR.

The Michelin's were gone the following day.
