I just replaced Michelin Pilots that had only 14k on them with the Falken 912's. Incidentally, the Michelin's were not worn out, they were just getting old as they were the original tires on my '04 Box.

So far I only have about 500 miles on the Falken's, but wow what a difference, they are very quiet. I bought them primarily because of the 40k tread warranty. I found these to be one of the few that have a warranty. My Box is primarily used for weekend drives mostly and I drive like the old man that I am, so I am not at all concerned about lap times or such.

I have Sumitomo htr z iii. Pretty sure they came from tire rack. I shopped a bunch of places and not 100% positive where i ordered from. They are on a 2001 base. Not sure how any tire could be warranted for 40k on the rear of a boxster, i think the ones I replaced had 8k on them. May have made it to 10-12k but that would have been about it. They were the stock Continentals. I just bought the car used so I'm not sure what they went through, but I bought from a neighbor and don't remember him doing burnouts down the road or anything.
