After 60,000 miles on the Primacy tires I changed out for Bridgestone Ecopia EP422 Plus all-seasons which now have about 20,000 miles on them and have been very happy with the change. They are a bit "grippier" and do not squeal as much in non-aggressive corners but are still willing to break loose with a little pressure. What I have not had happen with them that happened with the Primacy is the slippery when wet syndrome I saw previously.

The best part is my gas mileage has actually gone up with them (marginally). I really expected it to go down.
