Right at 9000 miles on my SS. All goes well

Inside rears look good and fronts still good tread.
However I dont track or drive tooooo crazy.

How about you with more miles---- how goes it?

I know not N rated for you purists but so far still
like the lack of road noise and wear and cost.

I have nearly 20k miles on one set (on a 997 C2), I have tracked the car once and done a few pretty "spirited" canyon runs, plus several long road trips. I'd say 50% daily driving, 40% highway cruising, 10% track/canyon. still plenty of tread up front, rears are getting close to the wear bars.

I've had all manner of Michelin, Pirelli, Bridgestone, etc performance tires, the SuperSports have really blown me away. excellent tire.

I just had these installed on another car I own from Chevrolet with 2 seats. I'm blown away by the difference in ride and handling compared to Goodyear Run Flats. I'm def planning on buying these for the 997 after after the Bridgestones are worn out. Glad to hear about the longevity, thanks for the update.

About 10K on mine.

Remaining tread about 40% front, 30% rear.

20% hard canyon runs, 80% DD

My PS2 would be done by now under similar conditions.

Less than a 1000 mile so far, SS replaced PS2 ....Can not tell the difference so far, I suppose that the reviews set my expectations too high
