Michelin Pilot 4s's v Sport Contact wear experiences

[andygo]

I'm ver soon going to be buying a set of new tyres for my Cayman GTS on 20inch wheels.

I have been for years a PS4s convert, but with the large price differential between them and SC7's i'm starting to lean towards the SC7's, particularly with the great reviews they seem to enjoy.

However the one thing that puts me off is the odd story of quite poor wear rate making them not so cheap as might first seen.

Has anyone got real world experiences of the SC7 wear rates?

Isn't the SC7 better suited to heavier cars, as in XL rating?

The Michelin PS4s's are an XL tyre in the Porsche N spec actually.

If you are happy with those and you can save a few quid why not, is the SC7 also Porsche approved then?

SC 7's aren't Porsche approved, although that isn't a Porsche warranty requirement any longer.

In my head, no point saving a few quid on tyres (circa £300) if they wear out significantly faster!
