My first set of PS2 were pretty worn at 7,600 miles, not down to the lines but I put a new set on anyway, $$$! Nice tires but they do not seem to wear well.

The wear rating on the PS2 is only 220, on my other car I get 20K mikes with some all season Continentals rated at 280 so I was expecting them to last about 15K - 16K miles. Two key differences:
1. I drive the Boxster must faster around the bends (why buy one if you don't).
2. I Probably could have hung on to 10K on the Boxster but I hate driving on marginal tires on any of my cars, cheap insurance to replace then early.
