I am currently driving on Michelin Pilot Sports (255/40 17") on the rears and finding they are wearing too fast for me. (Mostly stock 02 986)
Since I don't typically drive too aggressively I am wanting to replace them for a tire with a bit more tread wear under normal driving conditions. I am getting maybe 20K on each tire and because it's a daily driver that means I am replacing a set at least annually. I live in Florida so decent traction on wet roads is a must.
If you have experience with a better wearing tire, with similar characteristics I'd be interested to hear your recommendations.
