How long before your tires wore out?
Thanks guys. I assume like in my Boxster, the rears in my 18 C4S will wear out much faster. Mine is primarily a street car. I am using snows for the winter and summer tires will only stay on the car about 7 months.
Don’t like the P zeros and was wondering how long they will last? 10-15k miles?

Mine still had plenty of Front and rear tread depth after 13,000 miles of street driving. They were like hockey pucks though! If you switch to snows it wouldn't be as bad in the cold but they will last even longer.
$1400 well spent for MPS4s including install. Sticky, quiet, no regrets.

First set of rear PZeros lasted 15K miles. I changed them too soon (live & learn).
Second set of rear PZeros lasted 21K miles.
Front PZeros lasted 36K.
I think the PZeros were great tires. No better, or worse, than my current MPSS.

Just swapped onto winter rubber at the weekend and was a bit surprised at the wear on my rear 10k PZero's. I reckon I am looking at about 15k in life.
If I am lucky, one more summer out of them before I go shopping.

I'm really surprised some of you guys are getting that much out of your rear tires. I was expecting 15k miles on rears and 30k miles on the fronts - which was in line with MPSS on my Boxster. Is this mainly highway driving?

I often drive 200 highway miles to hit 120 miles of backroads on the weekends.

~ 700k of driving in my life in Hondas, Accuras, Lexus' and only 2 or 3 tire plugs.
Three on boxster after 38k and one in my 911 after 4.2k.
Different thread I guess......

Thanks. I just got my first nail in my rear on my 911. What is with these tires? Is it because of the thinner tread?

2 nails in set #2. 21,000 miles
No nails in set #3. 14,000 miles and counting.
It averages out.

I guarantee Porsche that it would not be a garage queen.

I hate how noisy the P zeros are but dumping new tires gives me pause.

12K on the rears in Germany. Aggressive mountain road driving in the Black Forest and regular Autobahn triple-digit speeds - typically 140 mph with several blasts in the 180 to 196 mph range. Best money I ever spent!
