Alright time for a review of the Michelin Pilot Super Sports after 11.5k miles. The tires do very well on the dry pavement, in the rain not so much. The rears are basically bald after 11,500 miles which to me seems a bit on the short side considering I never took the car to the track. I attribute the short life of the rear tires to spirited driving and driving during colder temperatures (less than 40 F, no driving in the snow of course). My original Advans (18" wheels) lasted about 16,500 miles which is about what I expected from a summer tire.

Great tire but I expect a longer tread life plain and simple. Will try a Continental or Bridgestone next to see if they are any better. Recommendations are welcome.
