Michelins ALL the way!!!! Thats what I have. Not the longest lasting but far superior in every other way. Well worth the price and the slightly shorter life.

Who me?

Hopefully, the rest of the year...I have another new set in the basement when these are gone!

FWIW, my OE Pilot Sports lasted a little over 16K miles...the front would have lasted longer, but the rears were shot (go figure ) I've got about 7K on the PS2s and they still look fairly new. If I get 15K, I'll be happy.

My buddy who owns a (SLK55) wore out his stock Pirelli rears in 6K!

That's equivalent - or less expensive - than here in the US....
You were considering packing a couple in your carry-on, huh, if you could get them for less here? LOL

They run around $300/tire for 255s, installed. Possible a little less. You can buy the tire uninstalled at $260 per.
