Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 265/40ZR18 - How long are they supposed to last?

[thenavarro]

For those of you that have ebay accounts that need tires, I just bought 4 brand new Nexen N3000's 18 inch for my Boxster from ebay auctions from a seller in Florida. Z rated as well. Auction price was $335.00 plus $80.00 flat rate shipping.

However, the best thing is Microsoft is offering 20% cash back if you "find" the auction through their new "live search" function. Therefore, you get 20% back of the $335.00 which is $67.00. And ebay has a 10% instant off coupon right now as well, the code is CJUNE0810P that will save you another $33.50, and if you are earning "ebay bucks" on your qualifying ebay account, you can save another $33.50 which makes the net price of the tires after your rebates and savings $415.00-$134.00= $281.00!!!!

You won't beat that price anywhere and there are several good experiences on this board with the Nexen N3000's.

Hope this helps someone,

Mike

I don't have PS2's, but for what it's worth, my Nitto NT555 tires have about 7-8k miles on them and the rear's are looking like I'll be needing to replace them very soon...

I was surprised that they wore out so quickly from just street driving, and no track events on them...

I'm sure these will get even worse tread life, but I'm considering some Toyo R888 or Toyo R1R's next...

At those prices, who cares how long they last? That's like one third the cost of PS2s at tirerack (1178 + ship)and less than half the cost of a set of Goodyear F1s (938 + ship), from same tirerack. 80 for shipping is not bad.
