Turbo Tyre wear
Okay guys I need to update my Turbo tyre wear files. The data I have is a little dated the the tyres choices somewhat limited. If anyone would like to post honest data on their personal tyre wear issues, good bad or indifferent I would like to read about them,

Not really sure what you mean with tyre wear issues, but perhaps this can help you.
I just changed all four tires on my 964 C2T -91.
All four tires where Continental Conti Sport Contact N1, stock 17 inch 205/50 and 255/40.
The wear was even on all four wheels, perhaps a little bit more wear on outside left rear wheel.
The rear tires lasted 10.000 km including 5 track events (about 5 hours track time in total). The front tires lasted 30.000 km (if the previous owners information is correct, I had the car for 20.000 km).
Since last week I am using Continental Conti Sport Contact 2 N2 (same size), the grip is way better, but it sounds like tractor pulling wheels when driving (need to check that the sound really is from the tires).

I have a 91 C2T, like Staffan, but it was S02's. My tyres are now ready for replacement having done 18000km. The rear tyres are worn more than the fronts, and the wear is pretty even across the whole tyre.
The above KM includes about 250km of track use, and I do tend to drive pretty hard when I get the chance. Having said that, most of my driving is in 5th on the highway...
Hope this helps.

Thanks Guys,
I am getting some huge swings here in tyre wear. From 5000km road use only up to 18000km including track work. The Conti N2s are a noisy tyre by the way.
