Hi all,

Was just curious what types of mileage you all are getting with the Michelin PS4S summer tires, as I plan to swap out my Continental ExtremeContact All Seasons with the Michelins for about 8-9 months out of the year. Of the summer tires available for my 20" wheels, it seems that the Michelins are the way to go.

For reference these will just be used for daily driving, sometimes spiritedly, but oftentimes just getting from one place to another. Mix of highway and city driving. The Pirellis I just retired had about 25k miles and seemed to still handle quite well with adequate tread so hoping these would be similar if not better!

Appreciate any thoughts you all may have

 

My impression from reading this forum it seems people get between 10k and 25k miles with rears the first to go.

 

Mine are at 30k with 5-6/10ths left on them. I drive them hard but not too nuts.

 

As stated, your driving habits will determine tire tread life. 25K miles on PZeros? It must be true, cornering on two wheels doubles the life of your rubber!

Our original rears were down to the cords at 14,000 miles, the second set wore out at 35,000 total miles. (EDIT: that's 21,000 miles, an alignment REALLY helped)



You can get a rough idea of YOUR tire's life expectancy by comparing the tread-wear rating of the tires.

PZeros have a treadwear rating of 220, the UHP All Season Nittos we bought have a rating of 560, so we are confident that they will last at least a FEW months longer than the Pirellis!

 

I've never got much more than 10,000 miles out of tyres on any Jaguar I've owned (XK8, XKR, F-Type) - how can you get 25k?

 

I got 16k on the original P-Zero's. 18k on Michelin PSS (before the 4S came out). The Michelins would easily gone more, but I wanted fresh rubber for the Dragon with some time to break them in. In both cases, it was the just the rears that were wearing, but I just didn't want to deal with mixing.

 

The Michelins are just really durable and every once in a while I’ve gotten sets of tires that just stunned me in their longevity. I’ve had two sets of PZeros and neither lasted 12k mikes. The P4S’ are great and I’m hear8ng great things about the Continentals in the last year.
