The only person that I know of tha has these tires has a GOLF GTI. His tires wear quickly. I have NITTO's NT555...they are amazing and could run rings around the tires you bought.

Have you thought about looking at the Kumho tires? I put a set on my TL and have been very pleased!

If it's just a couple times on the track then it's an okay choice; not as good as a dedicated summer tire though.

You would probably save money and have better traction if you bought a cheaper, dedicated summer or track tire because as people have said, the Michelins are pricey and wear quickly.

Yep, I have the 225/50 17 Michelin Pilot Sport A/S on my '02 TLS. Great tire much better than OEM. I didn't want to have a dedicated summer tire and have to change out in the winter. I have had them on for about 2000 miles and no sign of any wear yet.

A little pricey, but I would recommend them.

I have Pilot Sport A/S. They are probably the best All Season tires I drove on but the price is a little too high for me now, so I doubt I will put another set on when these tires goes.

My NITTOS NT555 is a hard compound tire, so I get less wear the than those pilots. Wear depends on hot the weather is.... during cooler temps - wear is less...during hotter wear is more...with hard compounds...its less likely to wear as softer compounds....

Stock tires and some Ultra High performance tires are softer compounds...go for the extreme tires where they are harder compound...

Anybody here, please correct me if I am wrong on this.

I have these exact same tires. I am currently at about 20,000 miles on these, and they seem to be doing extremely well - maybe half worn. I am not the easiest guy on my tires, and I have been very happy with these - definitely the best tires performance wise I have ever had on any car before - period. They are, however, a bit pricey.
