I have about 700 miles on my new tires, which are fantastic. I replaced the Turanzas which came with my 325i sport package, and find that the new tires not only handle dramatically better, but deliver a more comfortable ride.

One question, though: the reviews on Tire Rack differ wildly on mileage. The rep who sold me the tires at Tire Rack thought I'd get better mileage from these than from the Bridgestones.

Any experience?

Been all over the place so far. The median so far seems to be in the 20K neighborhood, but not unusual to see 10K with some track driving or 25K+ for those with a lot of highway miles.

My current PS2s have 22k miles and still have threads left. Seen about 8~10 track events, daily street and highway driving.

I have Pilot Sport (PS1?) and, at ~8K + a couple of track sessions, they've already started to lose traction on me. I almost spun on a particular turn that I take everyday. Granted, I was going a bit faster than normal, but there was no warning... Since then, I'm noticing that the DSC light is coming on more often now.
The threads looks fine. My point is, to some, it's not the tread, but the performance that goes first.
