I guess PS2's may get more milage, but I am not that concerned. I was just afraid that 15,000k meant something was wrong with my car. Since some are getting 10,000k maybe I should drive it harder.

If you tracked the car, 5K miles would be typical from a set of tires. __________________ 1999 996 C2 - sold - bought back - sold for more 1997 Spec Boxster BSR #254 1979 911 SC POC Licensed DE/TT Instructor
