bought my pilot super sport early this year and used for about 10k km only..... just noticed that it's worn down to the wear indicator already. That's pretty fast considering it's rated at 300 thread wear...

but then... it's a pretty good tire..... very good dry grip. can't say about wet grip as I dun push when it's raining. wears evenly..... I'm just surprised at the wear rate only..... Anybody has any alternative to this tire? gotta give almost the same dry grip but better threadwear....

Whoa, you must be one serious driver who usually drive hard and corner fast, do you?
I used older Michelin Pilot Preceda before with treadwear under 300 and still looks good (around 50-60%) after about 20K km before I sold the car.

No wor. Slow driver.... occasionally sprint from stand still or fast corners.... but no tire screeching type of driving.

Wah cannot be, very weird.
Anyway, maybe can try Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 2 if got the size. I read it got a lot of very good reviews compared to others.
I myself is using F1-D5 which is slightly below the Asy2. Also TW 300, but only have been using for only about 4 mths now, still look like new.

maybe I inflated it to incorrect pressure? but it wears evenly and I follow manufacturer's guide.....

im using PS3 but normally i drive slow but i do handbrake turn in parking very frequently. Sometimes do on public road (when the road is empty of coz just to train a little).

On and off when do spirited driving, I brake hard hard sometimes overdid it until tyre screech with marks on the road. Sometimes sapu corner also...

Sometimes i drag and launched at 5k rpm (for the fun of it) until wheelspin like hell...

having done all the above, still got lots of thread...after 20k km

I think you're over inflating your tyres.

Tyres definitely last longer than 10k.

Why everyone is using different model to give comparison anyway?

what is your car model and size?

PSS is super expensive tires...for 225 40 18 is about rm1k a piece, correct me if im wrong.

10k km burn rm4k, ure rich

265/40/18 on a porsche.... cost RM1.5k each..... talked to my mechanic last nite and he says it's NORMAL!!!! average is around 15k km..... I'm thinking of getting conti next... but lodsa ppl told me not to....

Having enough juice to get a Porsche.. you should not be complaining that tires are expensive and thought of it when you buy the car.. anyway this is what a tire shop owner told me once

am i reading this correctly, or is TS complaining about tire pricing when he is driving a Porsche?

No, TS is just looking for a tyre that can give good performance but last a bit longer. Money is not the main consideration, perhaps value for money in something that last longer than just 10K KM

Mich pss are good tires. Comfort and performance. But agree on its ridiculous pricing and average treadlife. My friend bought his pss in sg, can get cheaper.

Y not asymmetric 2, cheaper but still good. Decent life. Oem on new 911 if im not wrong

nay... tried asymmetric 2 b4.... din like it.... anybody using AD08? how about Toyo T1r? from what I gathered, I'm better off sticking with pss.....

ad08 should be really good on dry grip, though i believe treadwear/wet grip/nvh may be on the low side.

pricing wise i think it shouldn't be too expensive considering the price you have to pay for your tire sizes anyways.

i think TS mean slow driver which is slow for Porsche car..

240km/h++ is still slow for Porsche

for Myvi is superfast..since myvi odometer only got 220km/h

TS do u ever try Falken Azenis FK-453 or Azenis RT-615K?

i used csc3, potenza re050 & now on pss. pss provides comfort without sacrifying performance; i mean real performance.

He he look like my changed on the tyre shop didn't wrong advised me to gy assurance fuel max.

For michelin need to claim for warranty and take long time also.
