Default another tire thread and the ps2

we've had a couple of tire threads come up and it has gotten me thinking since my 760s are 3 years old. i have been going back and forth on another set of the nt05, both tires have downfalls so you just go with whatever is more important

well...then there is the ps2 which is a better tire than both that out performs both tires everywhere except the nt05 in hot dry performance

after doing some searching there is a tactic you can use to get a set of ps2's for $1314 at the door

here's what you do, go to amazon and search sizes, you will find the rears for $422ea shipped and fronts for $284.99 shipped. that's $1414 a set, wait for the $100 rebate discount does on major holidays, take in your amazon print outs for a price match and then get the rebate. total cost is $1314 + install

now the question i have for you z06 owners, what kind of mileage can i get from the ps2?

is 20k a reasonable expectation?
