No track days, all "road" miles. For 37,500 miles I have averaged just over 3K for a set of rears. I change my oil everytime I change rear tires. After logging several hundred miles this week in an RS fitted with the Corsa's I'm seriously considering switching to the Perelli's, if I can find any. Seems they are all on back-order!!

I have had my heart set on the Michelins and will likely ask my dealer to do a swap for them if the Pirellis come on the car.

How do these tires compare?

Got Cups on the GT3 and Pirellis on the RS. I prefer the Pirellis as they are quieter, smoother, have great grip and much better traction in the wet. I haven't driven them enough to compare life expectancy but (with the deeper tread) I suspect they'll win on that score as well. Enjoy the new car!
