MY Volvo XC40 AWD has been driven mostly on highways and this spring I was wondering what to replace my good Continentals with, so I thought I might give this new Michelins a try. Gosh, these tyres are super silent! I've been driving on some silent tyres before but these are great! At first I thought they're not good at handling, but then I realized I'm going 20% faster than usual, because I was relying solely on the noise :)))
These are silent (even on highways) and pretty soft, so driving on highways is super comfortable. I cal also feel my AWD is like on rails while driving on local roads and I've never been able to loose a grip. Going through puddles on highway is like going on normal wet roads, without any resistance. After almost 4k miles I didn't notice they're worn at all and hope will last for 40k miles more. Hope I will be back here in a year or two with some more useful information, without any disappointments.

Primacy 4's have just past 75,000km (47,000 miles) so lasted really well. Just had car serviced they told me they had another 5000 to 8000km in them (see pic). Overall great tyre. The only downside - were very quiet when first got them, but noise levels have gradually increased over time as they've worn.

'try and be' why not try *to* be?
These tires (in a no-noise version) are oe fitment on our Volvo XC40. My baseline is the Michelin PS AS 4 on a Volvo C30.
Overall, they are a welcome suprise wrto ride, handling and noise on both wet and dry roads. Wear after 11k miles implies 30k is possible. But, replacement cost is unacceptably high, so, if we have the car that long the replacements would be Michelin PS AS 4, or perhaps the equivalent Conti.

Put these on my small crossover because of the price. For that price, they are perfectly fine. Sometimes I am "sportier" and more aggressive in my driving, which these have some lower limits. I usually get a traction light when accelerating from a stop, I think the cause is there is no tread block in the central rib, like many other tires. Otherwise, for 99% normal driving (gentle acceleration, light to firm braking, not cornering fast) these are perfect for the job. I haven't noticed a ton of road noise - they're a bit nosier than the Pirelli Scorpions probably that I originally had, but most of the year I have to use snow tires anyways, so these are quieter than those anyways.

Had these tyres as OEM fit for two months and initially they didn't feel very grippy even in the dry. Put this down to them being new. The dry handling has slightly improved but the wet performance is appallingly bad - understeer in damp/wet conditions giving no confidence in the car getting round a corner over 60mph.
After 1500 miles there's only 6mm tread left at the back and 5.5mm at the front - pretty poor.
Considering replacing them already.

The EcoContact 6 is a terrible tyre. I had them as OE with my xc40, from new. I found them fidgety in the wet and I had no confidence in them when it came to aquaplaning. As soon as the tread was halfway worn they started wheel spinning when pulling out at junctions or onto a roundabouts in the wet at anything other than a crawl. The fronts were worn out after 12,000 miles of easy driving.

BEWARE
New ECO CONTACT 6 now coming new with 5mm tread, by lucky to get 10,000, dont bother is my honest opinion. Others are offering much better tread and performance.

Used for around 10.000 km on a Volvo XC40 (OEM equipped). Not satisfied. Low grip on wet. Very prone to aquaplaning. Low tread as new (+/- 6,5mm). Wet tread wear indicator at 4mm... not much usable in a wet weather like Belgium...

Repeat of another review, too soft. Tyres squirm and slip at the slightest road discrepancy. No confidence with these tyres if in icy conditions. At brand new, they slipped as if already badly worn and now 8k miles, they need replacing. Be glad to get rid of them for something more stable.
