    How often do your tires need replacing?

    How many miles to you get on your tires before replacing?

    How do the 18s compare with the 19s?

    Does anyone do an "inside out" rotation of the tires given the camber and the greater wear on the inner treads?

    Re: How often do your tires need replacing?

    I suppose this question is a bit like 'how long is a piece of string'?

    Different makes wear differently, and obviously your driving style has a big impact.

    I'm sort of asking the same questions as I had std 17" Boxster 'S' wheels with Michelin Sports on my 2001 car - tyres lasted in excess of 25k miles (I really am a woos aren't I?) but am wondering how long the 19"s will last (Conti's this time around)

    My 986 came with Bridgestone S-02A's. The rears needed changing at 24k miles. The fronts still had more to go but one or both(?) had been plugged so I replaced them all with S-03's.
