I tried the Pirelli trofeo R with the Turbo S and they didnt last long. 2 track days, about 8 twenty min session equivalent to 200 miles.
I were surprised at the low durability of there tires. Tracks were homestead and west palm (1 day in each).

 

Wowwww. I guess thats what happens with such a super sticky tire?? It looks like you had tons of fun out there on the track!

 

Looks like someone was a bit hard on the gas coming out of slow corners???

 

what presure were you running? Looks like pressure too high.
These tires need run 2bar hot

 

Hi,
I put pressures recommended by Porsche for track 31 psi cold front and 36 back

 

that is for oem tires.
Trefeo r recommended hot pressure is 30psi hot.
If you put 31 cold and 36 cold hot pressure will be like 43-48 way too high.
That is why only the center parts of your tires are worn. That means pressure you set is too high. Your tires side parts do look ok.

 

I was going to second that.

How did the fronts wear compared to the back?

 

Beginning to wonder if this car is simply hell on tires using the stock alignment settings? I completely toasted a set of Pirelli PZero's in two track days at Putnam (which, admittedly is a road course known to be hell on tires). New Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2's are a little more durable, but are still getting eaten a lot faster than the same type tires on my 997-2 GT3...

 

May I ask where you are buying PSC2's ? I can,t find them. Thanks, Allan

 

Your not the only one with wear issues with improper PSI.

couple guys in this thread showing good wear resistance on the newer model. The old ones wore out instantly IMO and the new version was supposed to last a bit longer then normal.

But 500+hp and all wheel drive on a track that eats tires, your going to have increased wear.

 

I get them at TireRack (tirerack.com), and have them heat cycled before shipment for optimum track durability. Then I have them mounted at my Porsche dealer, often in conjunction with a pre-track, in-depth tech inspection, just to keep an eye on things.
