For me the most important factors are:
Wet/dry grip
Cornering stability
Road noise
Treadwear
Ride Comfort
Cost

How many miles could you expect from the Michelin Pilot Sport PS2?
Missed this question. I drive fairly spiritedly and i'm guessing but I think I have another 2,000 to 4,000 miles. So that's 12k to 14k a set.![]()

No, not really. However I think if for instance the two front tyres have a couple of millimetres tread depth between them then this could upset the traction control, in this case it is advisable to change them.
In the UK the legal wear limit is 1.6mm, however, it is apparently recommended to change when your as low a 2mm if that makes sense.![]()

There is no chance that not changing the fronts would upset the traction control. It does not function this way. The fronts and the rears are not the same diameter/size in the first place.
The rear tires on these cars can easily wear 2 times as quickly as the front tires (It's the insides of the rear tires that wear out quickly). There should be no reason to change the front tires if there is even treadwear and plenty of remaining tread. Of course this does not allow you try out different brands but at least you will get twice the use out of the front tires.
