I am assuming the mounting is the same if the MPP coils are fitting.

I'm also curious! Would be way cheaper than MPP or UPP. I just cant get behind gouging customers...

You switched from Michelin MXM4 to Michelin Primacy Tour AS tires? Big difference in road noise and feel?
Yes. Absolutely mind numbing. The road manners are on par with true luxury sport cars.

That's awesome. I wish I knew who to trust haha. Maybe it's personal preference? But this seems like something that is either fact or fiction. When I get new tires in a couple years, I might see how the new Hankook iON Evo AS tires are doing for people.
I have had the Michelin Primacy Tour A/S tires on my Lexus IS as OE well as Mercedes ML and that is what made me look into them. I am definitely thrilled.
FYI - I have two 2022 M3LR and I have had the opportunity to test side by side Michelin MXM4, Hankook Kinergy GT, Hankook Ion EVO AS and Primacy Tour AS.
That is something that even TireRack cannot do.

It would be interesting to know how much of a range hit you'll take on the Primacy Tour AS compared to the other LRR tires.
I need to replace my T1 spec MXM4s sometime in the next few months. After two sets of them, I'm definitely looking for other options.

The Hankook Ion Evo AS were definitely better than the MXM4. They are also better than the Kinergy GT as far as handling is concerned. Regarding road manners/road noise, the Kinergy GT has a low frequency bass sound and fills the bottom of the car whereas the Ion EVO has a midrange sound and more noticeable to the ear, especially on rough concrete roads. The MXM4 are the worst of all the 4 tires I have compared.

Here is an early report. Looks promising.
Trip A: Hankook Kinergy GT + Michelin Primacy Tour A/S(121miles)

This is crazy...someone has already done an efficiency comparison on the Model 3!!!!

I had the Primacy Tour AS as my last set of tires (on a 2019 RWD LR M3). For the most part, they were really good tires. I wouldn't say the road noise was substantially better than the factory tires, but my car is an earlier build and is just louder anyway. I recall the handling being a bit less sporty, but they were WAY better in the rain than the MXM4s. Efficiency was very similar to stock for me.
I recently replaced the Primacy Tours with Pirelli P Zero A/S Elect. I actually think these are a bit quieter than the Primacy tires. Again, I think efficiency is about the same, but I haven't really used them in the warmer months much yet. I think the Pirelli's are a good balance of noise, efficiency, and handling.
Not exactly. If you read into the details, all that is discussed is the mileage rating of the two tires through the lens of spec and mileage racked up by users before wearing out the tires.
For efficiency we need the manufacturer spec or better yet, an indepenent comparison of rolling resistance.. and some long-term efficiency readings from 3s/Ys running these with matching software, wheels, load, road and ambient conditions.
