I replaced my original rear S02's at 17,000 miles. I was pretty happy with the mileage considering what I heard others had done. I bought the S02 PP's which I thought have even a better wear rating. I just checked them out and the wear bars are flat and they only have 7,000 miles on them! My driving style hasn't changed and I haven't autocrossed or raced the car. I'm going to have to look into a different tire because I can't afford this rate of replacement. The fronts are now worn out so I'll replace all four.

Anyone else had this experience with the PP's?

 

22K miles, still got at least 1/4 tread left.

 

Richard,

Is that 22K on your original S02's or on pole positions?

 

I went through my OEM's in 12k miles. Then I went through my S02 PolePOSitions after 6k miles.

Yes, they do wear alot faster than the OEMS. They also seem to disintegrate easier as they wear too!

Now I am using Michelin Pilot Sports on all 4 wheels and love them so far. They are a better replacement tire than the S02 PolePositions, but not as good as the OEM.

I have 7k miles on my Michelins now and they should last me another 5-7k miles, I hope!

 

Ooops, sorry, my originals.

Must've been a brain fade...

Aren't the PPs supposed to last longer?

 

5,000 miles!

 

My rears lasted about 6,500 miles or so.

 

OEM 12K
Porsche S02 12K
PP 10K

I was using Ultra Seven, and switched to Ultra Man.

 

The OEM rears are bald, have been since 8,000 miles or so, I'm getting the S03's when they come in. The fronts should last another 5-7K, but I'm replacing those baloons with 205-50-16 S03's anyway.
