I have had three sets of Michelin Primacy tyres on 2009 Accord Euro and got between 60,000 and 70,000 km from each set. Put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tyres and drastic signs of wear were evident at 15,000km mark. With around 22,000km on them now I'll be lucky to get 25,000km from a set. Michelin rep looked at tyres and said they had probably worn due to incorrect inflation or driving conditions.
Given the previous three sets lasted over 60,000km it's obvious the Pilot Sport 4 tyres I purchased are garbage.
The Warranty Terms offered by Michelin are ridiculous and like many disclaimers illegal. I'll be seeking a full refund through Fair Trading from where I purchased the tyres on grounds of unacceptable durability.
Michelin claiming poor inflation and driving conditions were a factor are ignoring the fact that three previous sets lasted 60,000 to 70,000 km and neither the inflation regime or driving conditions had changed.
