Anyone have any experience with them??? Closest thing I could find without having to go with a drag radial.

That 200 tread wear rating will probably translate to 5k-7k miles before you need a new set. Unless you're really easy on them.

Otherwise, enjoy. Let us know your thoughts when they are mounted and your rolling around.

Just had them put on today and Im very satisfied with the grip.Im going to test them out tomorrow without the traction control on.....I did a quick test run from a dig in "s" mode but forgot to turn off the traction control. It only fell on its face for a split second when I punched it but it usually falls on it's face multiple times when traction control is on so I know the tires are definitely doing their job.

Most people are getting 5-7K on the PSS which are 300 tread wear, if he is at all aggressive the rears are gonna be toast in less.

I went with the Michelin Pilot SPort AS/3. Basically an all-season version of the PSS. Tread wear at 500 and lasted me almost 13k miles (down to the wear bars though, realistically I probably should have changed them at around 11-12k). For daily use they more than suffice and give great grip in the rain as well.

Do people's tires really go that fast? My original Continental 5P lasted 14K miles and when I switched them out the dealership even said they still had quite a bit to go. I only switched them out because my lease was half-way in.

My PSS wore in about 5K as well. To me, not tracking the car and just some aggressive daily driving, it was not worth the money at all to keep getting those tires. Great if you track, but wet traction was mediocre, and wear was too quick.
