My 987S had the rears (PS2) replaced at 10,800 as part of the Certification process. It now has 18,400 on it and the tires look fairly even on wear.
I'm more one for slinging it into a corner, rather than drag racing the ricers who always want to, so I think I'll get fairly even wear, possibly even more front wear, than rear.
What I've heard from the guys here and others I've talked to with Boxsters, you've been "old lady"-ing it to get 20k on Michelin rears.
Tirerack has the new Goodyear F1-Asymetrical rated better than the PS2.
I'm going to try a set of them when I need to re-tire, I loved the F1 GS-D3 on an RX8.
