The terrible summer ones are expensive, but the all season ones are around $125/tire last time I checked

I'm glad I had that option, if you're going to have crappy tires you might as well get ones that are cheap and can be driven on when it's 40 degrees or less

Sadly, it doesn't really work that way. The stickier the compound, the softer it is. So, while you might not be "breaking loose" as frequently, you'll still see faster wear than a harder compound.

I autoX once a month on my Primacies and at 1 year and a half and 16k miles I've only reached the half-way mark as far as tread wear is concerned.

But yeah, they're expensive (but I've always felt Michelins were over-priced) and I won't be replacing them with the same tires when the time comes.

Just buy a set of MPSS and thank the screw for helping you dispose of those overpriced, awful Primacy HP tires.
