Hmm my Z2SS were nearly gone by 20k miles, well past the wear bars, but 3x track days and ~7-8 autox events in that time.

Road surface and tire pressure have a role to play as well.

I've got about 7k miles on the MPSS right now and they look like they'll easily hit the 30k mile mark as long as I don't hit the track and keep the autox time low.

Tires wear differently, whether it's due to differences tire to tire, driving styles, conditions, etc. Experiences rarely translate 1:1, but there are some generalities. I think it's fair to say if you are blowing out MPSS in <20k miles you'll get like half the mileage out of say a 200TW tire like Z2SS or RS3/4.

For every bunch of reviews saying they get 30k+ miles on MPSS there's some guy in a Corvette or Ferrari wearing through them in 5k-15k miles.
