How to warranty your stock tires and save money on Pilot Super Sports - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Mods please move or delete as needed if this been covered well already.
I case you did not know your stock Primacy HP tires have a 35,000 mile warranty form Michelin.
If you have worn your tires down to the wear bars before the 35,000 miles you can get new tires at a significant discount.

How this worked for me:
Tire sucked and were down to the bars by 11,000 miles.

Took car to sears automotive because they are authorized dealer for the frenchies (Michelin is a French company).Had sears automotive call in warranty of tires to Michelin at 1-866-866-6605.

Told them I would like to substitute PSS for Primacy HP Michelin was fine with this as PSS were less money.Michelin warrantied my tires and said I only had to pay 23% of a new set of PSS.

I asked Sears to order 245/40/17 PSS to go on the rims I just ordered they were on sale and I ended up paying about $230 including tax for a complete set of PSS.

I made sure all my tires were down to the wear bars before I went in and it took some time at Sears but I saved about $550.
Good luck all..

Can it be replaced with any size tires or 17s only?

Yeah I'm curious about this. I got my stock set up sitting in my garage, but I could run them for a bit and get some new tires for my 18s lol

Wish I'd seen this a couple months back because I spent over $1000 on mine and could really use an extra $750 right now, lol. No regrets though, they were worth every penny. I'll keep my fingers crossed they wear down before 35k

I believe you can replace your stock tires (MSRP $261) with any Michelin tire any size as long as they are less expensive per tire.

any idea if this would apply to those with the bridgestone turanzas.

Michelin has a 30 day buy & try guarantee. I wonder if you contact Michelin within the first 30 days of ownership if they'll comp you to buy new tires any an authorized dealer?

Michelin is the only company that gives you a tread life warranty. Companies like continental, goodyear, bridgestone, will always say YMMV.
