Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 7.5mm from new (9/32") according to the website, now WELL past 1/2 worn on 7k miles (all on APR stg1 ED30)
mmm better start budgeting for tyres soon :sad:
and just to show the differences my rear Mich Pilot Exaltos have done 19k miles and look like new :surprised:

PS2's are VERY soft. After looking into some new tyres recently, the sofest "Normal" performance road tyres were the PS2's and Goodyear assm's both showing 240 on the treadwear (directional F1's were 260) . This will go some way to explaining the extra grip that they provide. Myself, i would prefer a slightly harder compound and they last a little longer. I plumped for Falken FK452's unfortunatly im not in a position to say "only the best" 1, because i cant afford them and 2, are they the best because the price says so?
Oh and from memory the Rosso's are about 260 so dont change to a Goodyear or Michelin if you want any more miles from them :happy2:
