My '08 CS has 5400 miles and tires have plenty of life left, probably around 85%-90%. I don't track it though and it's just highway/city driving.

Street all-weather tires

Just tracked my Boxster for the first time 10 days ago when the car had covered about 2500 miles. After about five runs the stock 19-inch Michelin chunked pretty badly and wore on the outside edges. Looks as though I will have to replace these soon. I've ordered a set of 18-inch Bridgestone Potenza RE-11 XL with OZ wheels to use solely on the track.

Any suggestions for a decent street tire with all-weather capabilities (lots of rain here) and better wear performance than the Michelins? They will be used for street only, relatively easy driving.

23k and the rears are corded all the way around. I should've replaced them at 20k.

17K so far on 08 CS and still going. The rear is getting a little loose but that just adds a little fun.

I have an '06 CS with almost 25,000 miles on it. I don't track it and am pretty easy on it. I still have some life in the rears and the fronts still look pretty good. I bet I can get another 5,000 out of the rears before needing to replace them.

Do you like the ps 2's better. I have heard that they are quieter and handle better.
