The first set I changed too soon. But I didn't know better and wanted fresh tires for my summer 2015 road trip to Porsche Parade (French Lick, IN) and Nashville. I didn't want to take 15k tires on a 2k road trip. By comparison, I never got anything over 10k on prior 911s, so I was pretty thrilled with over 15k.
Now I plan to push these always past 16-18. For me, 20 is a good sweet spot.
I think I can get away with it because it's not a daily driver, and I can easily avoid ran days. I bit harder to do on road trips, though.

I run cold tire pressure at 32 fronts and 36 rears on Michelin PSS 245's and 305's. I feel I get really great handling and grip wet and dry at those levels. Also the ride is not so bone shattering for my wife when she is with me. I am expecting to get 15k we will have to see. I used to get 6-8k on the rears on my TT's. They ate up the rears.
I think the 991's and MPSS will get better mileage. I am not a fan of Pzero's after having at least 3 sets over the years. Just a personal preference.
