I am considering trying these michlenes next time around.
Pilot Super Sports - FTW.

I completely agree! they might be the perfect tire. my ONLY gripe (and it is minor) is the tramlining. SoCal freeways have those stupid grooves in freeways here (like it rains here?) and i can feel them all. regular roads though = grip heaven

Soon I will be looking for a new set of tires too. In one year, at 6,000 miles I am at 6/32 in the front and 3/32 and 4/32 on the rears. I've never done a burn out either.

Is this what others experience as far as wear pattern goes.


By the way, On past cars, I got one year out of fronts and two years out of rears.

Just bought a set of Pilot Sport A/S Plus Saturday. Actually bought them the Monday before but it took Discount Tire 5 days to get them in. Love them so far. Have had several sets of Pilot Sports before (not the A/S plus) and have always loved them.

At around 17000 miles I still had 6/32 on the front and 2/32 on the rears. I drive mostly open road miles.
