Pilot Sport 4 - Poor wear?

[Uggers]

I can't remember last time I got more than 10k miles out of any tyres, on any car I've had.

Got PS4S on the RS6 and don't notice any abnormal wear compared to the previous 4 sets of tyres in the last 30k. So think the wear rate is fine to me.

I have a Mercedes A45s,
I get around 5000 miles on the front on PS4’s.
Quality not quantity is what I say.

I've always ran PS4s (not PS4S), on my F31 330d (S-Drive). Granted, it spends most of it's life sat between 50-70 on the motorway, but I usually see 20-25k out of the rears and up to 30k on the front. Full wear 7mm start to between 1.6 and 1.8mm before a change.

Obviously a lot of variables at play here - driving style, type of roads, alignment etc - but I would be checking your pressures accurately as this is major contributor to premature or incorrect tyre wear.

Thread is 2 1/2 years old mucker.

But yeah I get piss poor mileage from the PS4 tyres fitted to the front of my GT86. Tracking been checked numerous times, just told it’s an aggressive geometry set up and soft-isn’t performance rubber. But at ~£100 a corner I want more then 7k out of them.

12-15,000 miles out of the rears and 25,000 miles out of the fronts on a Z4MC.

That's a combination of 25,000 road miles, a couple of UK track days and a couple of Ring trips.

If I do less road miles with the same track days/ring trips, then they don't last as long...which was very confusing when I started doing less commuting...but it seems I'm not putting enough 'normal' driving cycles through them to square everything back up between 'abusive' cycles.

Same happened with the discs/pads - they don't get the 4-5,000 mile 'gentle' road use between track days to clean themselves up, so they wear out quicker.

Just came from the garage and my PS4 tyres 100% worn at the rear. Oops.
New PS4's being fitted again this Wednesday.
These recent ones have only done 8.5k miles and they are done.
They're on a Golf Mk7 GTi Stage 1, Forge air filter, lowered springs, getting about 340bhp.
I drive it hard regularly tho.
Any other tyres that are better for longevity than the PS4s?

I have post in this thread above, I used to only get 7k out of PS4s on the front of my GT86. I now have an M140i and the Pilot Supersports which are on it have now done 24k and still have good tread!

I recently switched from PS4 to PS5 and it looks to me like they’re wearing better, although it’s early days (only done about 6k miles).

Reviews also seem to support that.

10000 miles on PS4?

In my dreams

If you want longer than that I'd buy some horrible disgusting cheap hard as rock rubbish, and then expect to slide off the road

Nonsense I got 25k out of set of PS4S on my F80 M3.
