Had the Primacy 4 on the rear of my petrol Audi Q5 Quattro for about 3 months now, and noticed an improvement in fuel efficiency almost straight away. Combined efficiency has gone from around 34mpg to nearer 39mpg, so well pleased with them. Will be swapping out the front tyres too in the near future, so expecting further improvement. Existing tyres are all Michelin Latitude Sport 3, which have lasted really well, but the Primacy 4 are a step up... and a little cheaper.
