Just wondering what sort of mileage 997 Turbo owners get out of their tyres. Obviously I do appreciate that this will always vary according to how the car is used so I do expect there too be some variances.
My query is because I'm a bit surprised by my own situation.
I put 4 x Michelin PS2s on my car expecting that the rears would last about 8k and that the fronts would be good for about 16k miles.
My surprise is two-fold in that after 12,317 miles the rears are only just coming down to the 3 mm depth that I'd normally change them at but the front are already down to 4mm.
Overall I'm happy as it will mean that I'll change all four at the same time and get best use out of a fully matched set again but I'm curious to hear whether my wear pattern is typical of the car.
NB: I had the GEO done immediately after the tyres were fitted and always run them at 36/44. A lot of my mileage is done on motorways/autobahns which is probably why the overall wear is far less than on my previous cars which were used a lot more in having fun on UK 'B' roads.
