"I have Michelin PS2s all around. The fronts are due for a change but the rears still have some life left in them (not for lack of trying)....
I'll probably get another 5-8k miles left on the rears and want to get what I can out of them so I would to have to change them out prematurely."
Wow, is that your first set of rears to go wity your front tires? I have about 12K on my front PS2's and they have almost 1/4 inch of tread left. My rear PS2's have a little over 2K on them and they have 3/16 on outside and 2/16 on the inside.
I have mostly been behaving myself and I do not track the car. I love the PS2's, but it looks like I will only get around 5K out of the rears again. Thats too rich for my blood, I will need to get a cheaper set of tires when I finally wear out the fronts.
