Great tire wrong car

Comments about Pilot Primacy:

As it turns out I have agonized the eventual transformation of my 2013 Scion FRS from concept car FT86 to is current fruition. Being a great car I was eager that it would be delivered with great tires. I always try to have a little bit of Bibendum on any car I own. I was fortunate to go to a MAST school. I can only see one reason that this tire made it on this car. CAFÉ Corporate Average Fuel Economy, with a higher than average silica content it has an extremely low rolling resistance. That would be the biggest feature and benefit, aside from that it communicates well when it is losing grip and a second benefit.
I was shocked that in any wet surface this tire has no traction what so ever, to the extent it feels unsafe. It is listed as a summer tire so I have no wiggle room to estimate it may have better wet traction on a front wheel drive car versus the rear wheel drive car I received them on as a standard option. I understand my fuel mileage may be better for having them on my car, but at the cost of mental comfort ability I would take the view the Manufacture could have chimed in and told the automobile manufacture there may have been a better fitment for the Scion FR-S. There is a moral responsibility that was overlooked in an effort to move product. It truly takes away a bit of credibility from a product I had always considered to be integrity number one.

Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) is for a tire only (i.e., excluding services such as mounting, balancing and tire disposal) and is applicable for the contiguous United States. Actual pricing may vary based on retailer, region, tire size and other factors. Retailers are free to set individual prices. Please check with your local Michelin tire dealer for pricing near you.

>> The sizes shown are average design values for tires measured on specified measuring rim widths. Some tires may vary from this value by +/-3% of the section height (affecting overall diameter), and +/-4% of the section width.
>> Section width varies approximately 0.2" (5mm) for every 0.5" change in rim width.
>> Tread patterns are often tuned to accomodate different tire widths. Tires for a particular dimension of a given tireline may vary in appearance from the tire shown in the photograph.

WARNING: Serious or fatal injury may result from tire failure due to underinflation or overloading. To ensure correct air pressure and vehicle load, refer to vehicle owner's manual or tire information placard on the vehicle. Serious injury or death may result from explosion of tire/rim assembly due to improper mounting. Only tire professionals should mount tires and they should never inflate beyond 40 psi to seat the beads. Before mixing types of tires in any configuration on any vehicle, be sure to check the vehicle owner's manual for its recommendations.

DANGER: Never mount a 16" diameter tire on a 16.5" rim.
DANGER: Never mount a 17" diameter tire on a 17.5" rim.

Inflation pressure increase must not exceed the maximum pressure branded on the tire sidewall. When a customer requests a replacement tire with a lower speed rating than the original equipment tire, you must clearly communicate to him or her that the handling of the vehicle may be different, and that its maximum speed capability is limited to that of the lowest speed-rated tire on the vehicle. Exceeding the lawful speed limit is neither recommended nor endorsed.

For high-speed driving, additional inflation pressure and possibly reduced tire loading and/or upsizing is required. In the absence of specific recommendations by the vehicle manufacturer, use the following guidelines based on those in the European Tyre and Rim Technical Organization Standards Manual.

For speeds over 160km/h (100 mph), load and inflation must be adjusted according to the table below.

V-Speed Rated Sizes:
Maximum Speed (mph) 100 106 112 118 124 130 136 143 149
