We got 59,000 on a set of Primacy MXV4's!!!
I'm a tire freak, and I thought the combination of ride, handling, long wear, and low rolling resistance was terrific! They may be my favorite tire of all time...especially on my Saab 9-5's.
Recently, however, I inherited a new set of DWS's, and put them on my 99 wagon. I loved the crisp athleticism, and was surprised to find that they were low rolling resistance as well. But they were a bit noisier (2-3 decibels?) than the primacies, and they rode slightly harder as well, but I run them at 40, so you could easily run them at 36 and be happy.
Both tires are surprisingly good in the light snow. As a matter of fact, I ran the primacies all winter here in Minneapolis, with little issue. It was the snowiest year in a long time, so that is saying something!
IMHO, any tire that can go 59k is always worth looking at! This one is especially so.
