Default Michelin vs. Bridge Pole Postion tire wear on GS

Please don't beat me up. I know trie tire issue has pretty much been addressed from all sides, BUT...... a lot of money per set.

I have just about decided on Bridgestone Pole Position tires but before I pull the trigger, what has been the experience between these two tires as far as tire wear?

Need to know from forum members that have actually had both on same car.

Hey, don't worry about it. Tire threads will go on for years to come.

This is my experience with Michelin Super Sports. I had about 5k miles on them when I traded in my 11 GS Vert for my 13 GS Anniversary Coupe. I didn't want to go thru the Goodyear crap again so I made the tire swap part of the deal. Now about 5500 miles later I'm down to around 7-8/32ds of tread (10,500 miles total on tires). I'm guessing about 25-30k on the backs and longer on the fronts since they are still above 8/32ds.

Don't know about Bridgestones, but the Michelins grip like crazy and the ride is perfect.
