I've had the Primacy MXM4 on my Accord for about 5 years now. They wore evenly, were quiet, seemed to have good traction... Overall I was happy with them.
It is time to replace and I am seeing that the Primacy MXM4 is about $50 per tire more expensive than the new Pilot Sport AS3+. Does anybody know why that would be? Is the construction on the MXM4 better or more robust? I understand the tradeoffs in performance between the two, more comfortable and quiet vs better grip and shaper handling, and could be happy with either if I knew they were built to the same standard for quality control and internal construction.
