I took my car in for inspection on Friday and received a mild scolding from the service advisor about the wear on my tires. He told me they were half worn in the back and that I might consider changing my driving habits. I then asked "What would be the point of having the car?"
Anyway, I was thinking about it. The tires I put on one year ago and they have about 8500 miles on these Michelin Super Sport tires. Normally, I would expect a Michelin tire to wear longer even with spirited driving, but just wanted to know your experience for wear with these tires.

My three favorite things to buy are:
Fresh oil
Fresh tires
Fresh coffee
Long tried life is overrated. You are doing just fine!

Good advice, thanks. I take a look at Tire Rack. My last experience with buying there and having Great Falls Exxon put them on was A+.
I have a full set of new Goodyears in storage, so I won't get stuck.

Me to. I also like to look at them stacked up in my garage when I pull in. It just looks cool. (and smells nice too). These tires are huuuuge.

I wouldn't mix tires even though they are the same brand. Also, you should be able to order the tires a lot faster from your dealer at about the same price. Mine ordered a set of the 4s for me and it took but a few days.
