From experience and in the years we have owned this forum, we have never heard of such a thing. Now anything is possible but guys who 50K MILES seem to be ecstatic.

I have had past customers tell me about 15K or less.

Hey, it that did happen, you should have sent those old tires off for some testing.



Peace and Merry Christmas.
Yeah, I find it hard to believe one could get 50K miles out of any of the Pilot Sport tires on the back of the Boxster as well. I got 15K miles out of the Pilot Sport Ribs and 15K miles out of the Pilot Sport 2 on mine. Now if somone is running an all season tire with a 400+ UTQG wear rating then sure. Ok, I just did a quick search on Tire Rack and Michelin makes an all season "Pilot Sport A/S" with a rock hard 500 UTQG rating. My guess is the OP has these tires.
