Have you gone through your first set of (rear) tires?

Curious what people here are experiencing with their factory tires since it's been a little bit over a year from car availability. I'm at 7,000 miles after exactly a year and my rear Pilot Sport 4S rears are almost to the point of replacement. I might get another 1,000 miles out of them for heavy weekend/canyon carving duty. No track days yet. Anyone else replace their tires?

The cheapest insurance you can provide for your performance car or motorcycle is the best tyres suited to that vehicle. My car was delivered with Pirelli P Zero OEM tyres, I too am looking at replacement tyres and find myself leaning towards the Michelin Pilot 4S as they are generally considered a perfect tyre for cars like ours. I can say that the Pirelli P Zero is a good tyre, whereas the Michelin is an excellent tyre.

Last time I had the M2 in for service tires -- including rear tires -- were "fine". Worn some but not by a scary amount. Oh, that was at just under 7200 miles.

For a good number of years now my style of driving hasn't changed -- it is by habit conducive to good tire life -- I don't yet know what my M2 rear tire life will be.

With other German sports cars 20K miles -- with a proper alignment and on my best behavior -- was about as good as it got.

Hope the M2 can at least beat 20K miles and really beat my Hellcat which looked like it would reach 30K miles before needing tires.

I never got much more than that out of my Nitto 555 R2s in the past, though the abilty to hook power and even handle dd like rain was great for a DR.. Iirc don't they come at like 6/32?

We need a poll (specify NO track use) to see what folks have gotten out of their stock Michelins. I think the Yokos and Pirellis don't have enough history yet.

Can someone do the honors? I suck at creating polls.

Agreed, and I have the 555R2s on the car now...but you need to really heat em up (aka burnout) for them to hook. They suck, in a scary not safe way, on the street at extended high speed (but obviously not what they are made for). So much so that I may go to Cup 2 and widen to 315/30/20s if they fit in the well for every day driving. I can always get a pair of Welds with drag radials for real drag racing.

I had 31k on the oem PZeros on my 330e, and they still had 5/32nds left. I drove that vehicle pretty similarly to my M2. We'll see how long the PS4S go.

This is from the rear tire with 3,412 miles:


I run these from April-October. The fronts are pretty much at the same depth. Looks like I will be due for a new set next spring

Not that I recall, but I'm getting forgetful now that I'm in my mid-40s
