I think you are boldly going where no man has gone before. I am at 30,000 miles and on my second set of tires as well (Bridgestone RE-11s). My warranty expires in 6 months so I will need to decide whether its worth extending.

I haven't tried anything other than the Corsa's and Bridgestones. I find the Corsa to be a poor street tire. It is harsh and fast-wearing. The grip attributes are unusable on the street, as they need a couple of laps to warm up. When Corsa's are cold, turn-in oversteer is very marked. If you don't track often, I'd go to something else.

17k on mine ... I've only added 7k over the past 16 months of ownership.
Replaced the Corsa's with a set of Nitto INVO ... 99%+ street. I just added, this past weekend, about 30 miles of Spring Mountain Motorsports Ranch. The tires worked fine.
Car runs Great !!!

Corsa's run great on the track. The Corsa's don't make sense if you daily drive the car. Since I daily drive my Black I decided on PS2's as they have better tire wear and provide enough grip when I need it. Save the Corsa's for the track

I couldn't pass-up new L/R rear Corsa's for $240.00/tire so yes, I'm going to save them for the track. I'll probably put PS2's, PS Super Sports (if Michelin ever makes a 285) or Conti DW's for week-end driving. I also changed from Mobil 1 to Motul 8100 and I'm going to change my brake fluid to Castrol SRF racing. BTW, I just turned 11K on the odo and my BS is running great!

12100 miles here. Still have my original fronts ( almost slicks at this point ) and on my second set of Corsas for the rear. Just cant seem to find a new set of fronts for a reasonable price. Still love my Black..

14.4k now. Hard sometimes with the dueling feelings of "meant to be driven" and "keeping the value." Most of the mileage on my cars is from long (5-7hours) interstate trips to visit friends. Tempted to just buy a trailer to tow since 800 round-trip miles is dumb to rack up just to drive friends around at the destination.

Let us know how the 2 compare. Everything is subjective, but I prefer the looks of our cars to the photos of the new BS. From the reviews, it seems like they planted the rear end, taking away the huge oversteer. While it might be quicker on the track, my bet is it won't be quite as entertaining. (but, I'm the guy who loved the way a 911 used to hang the tail out on every fast corner, if you hit the brakes). AS
