. Some might say I was over-driving, and perhaps I was, but I was only three tenths off the pace of my buddy in a 981 Cayman S, so that was good anyway. I doubt chasing him helped longevity, however. 
The sport contacts this comes with are garbage. So that's not saying much. Decent grip for the first few thousand miles (as long as it's not wet) but after the first rotation and some miles it's all gone. Not to mention they wear out super fast, I could never recommend them to anyone.
I got decent wet traction in the OE tires. They were on par with what I have now (the PS AS3+) but much better than the Nitto NeoGen that I had before in wet weather (the NeoGen were kind of trash in just about any weather unfortunately).
I got ~3500 miles out of my front right before it chunked during my 2nd track session. Both fronts are pretty close to the wear bars in the center of the tread also (from overinflating the fronts to avoid sidewall rollover on track).I got 3000 miles out of mine, or more accurately out of my fronts. Figured I'd rotate them after my first track day in the car, but destroyed the front shoulders in two sessions and that was that. Even if the shoulders hadn't chunked, they are basically on the wear bars anyway. Rears are in decent shape though!
I truly don't understand how C&D got 9k miles out of theirs without rotating. If they did any track testing on that particular set of tires, they'd have been gone well before that. Sometimes I think we don't get the full story. Just running through cloverleafs and roundabouts that I live by, there was wear halfway down the sidewall. And I'm running them a few pounds above the factory spec. Other than outright grip, of which they have a ton, it's just not a very good tire. Or I'm not driving right. Maybe both.
