When to change tires?

Interesting, so you are getting 17k miles (not km?) on the rears with Michelin PS2 (N1 rated)... wow!
I am a big fan of PS2's but I thought this time I'd try the new Pirelli Pzero N2 tyres that came out with the facelift Carrera. They seems to be pretty good from the first few hundred miles usage. Just as good grip if not better than PS2s and quieter IMHO. Wear rate will be interesting. Also, sidewall protection is supposed to be better for the PS2's so I will have to watch out for this.

I have a little over 8,000 miles on my Pirelli's and the noise from the rears is starting to drive me crazy and will probably repalace them in the next couple of thousand miles. I liked them up until about 7,000 miles at which point the noise has been tough to handle. I will replace the rears for now with the same until the fronts are gone and at that point I will change to something else.

I assume they are the harder wearing Bridgestones and you never accelerate or corner hard in your car? 10k would be the absolute limit for me even in Bridgestones.
Looking at the tread yourself can be deceptive. You need to get the car up on a ramp and look at the rears, specifically the inside edge as this is where it gets worn the most. I had good tread on my last set on the outside edge but was through the material layer, down to the metal layer on the inside edge.
