Rear tires lasted 50k miles and cost $617 to replace

[JTP]

My 2004 GTI came with PilotSports and still using them since new. I have about 35k on the tires (44K on the car) and they are just getting to the wear indicators, and I use the car in a "spirited" driving style. Every Michelin I've had lasted a long time. On my Supra I used Michelins and Yokohamas, which wore out very quickly.
