Superseded tyres!

Post by Richard Stevens »

My 2006 C5 hatch has a pristine Michelin Pilot Primacy tyre on the steel spare in the boot.
I thought it should start to earn its keep and have been trying to buy a single tyre so that I
can put it and its new twin on the road, and a worn tyre in the boot.

I find that the Primacy is now either a Primacy 3 or Primacy HP, both of which have a very
different tread pattern to mine. Why do they do this?

I've only had the car 18 months, and only now need to change anything, and it's a bit
annoying, as I am stuck with a useless spare.

I can't be the first with this problem, but what's the answer? Can't think it would be good
to fit a Primacy 3 or HP on the same axle as my Primacy.
I dare say someone else has an identical situation, and a solution would be possible if we could
get together, but I'm in darkest Norfolk, miles from anywhere!
