Unhappy Conti Sport Contact II

My car came with these as OEM tires and I am quite pleased and suprised with them. With another car that I had in the past, I had the original Sport Contacts and they were terrible. They cupped/got out of round and were noisy.

The Sport Contact II do not suffer from any of the bad issues of the originals, but the rears are about 85% worn with 20,000 miles.

How many miles are you guys getting out of the S-03s??? And, anyone else please with the Contact IIs???

Porsche is also using the sport contacts from the factory, I didn't see the Michelins on any of the new cars I looked at. As far as tire wear goes, I'm convinced it is heavily dependant of the driver's habits. If you read the comments on Tirerack.com, you will notice on almost every brand someone has complained about tread wear.
