Jay,

I feel for you.

16K on rear PZeros is impressive - I only got 11K on my OE PZeros - fortunately I have 32K so far on the clutch.

Tire wear and clutch wear can be inversely related. The clutch slips when the tires are gripping and the tires can slip when the clutch is gripping. I'm not accusing you of clutch abuse - just thinking that long lasting tires doesn't PROVE you are easy on the clutch.

Will Porsche NA help? I wouldn't think so - clutch, brakes and tires are assumed to be wear items unless they actually break during use.

PPBB has a few stories of early clutch wear - your next clutch may last much longer. I suspect I'm fairly easy on clutches - I put 110K on the clutch of my Sentra.
