I just passed 40,000 km. Replaced the pads once via Porsche service at around 25,000 km. All good.

That’s only 15,625 miles! Heavy track use?

Currently on some P-zeros on my 2017 C2 that I'm using as a daily driver here in the Charlotte region and was hoping to use on nice days even through the winter (or what they call winter here in the Carolinas). Tire Rack says Pirelli does not recommend using below 45 deg. Any others have experience in this area with year-round driving.

I wouldn’t say heavy but I kissed the guardrail during one session, so for a couple track days after my car was repaired, I drove with the traction control On until I was able to get my confidence back. Traction control eats up brake pads.

Sport Plus for me, manual mode... and leave nannies on!
the 991.2S vs 991.1S is more of a handfull... because of the torque...
