I got just under 15k out of my rear dws tires and 25 on the front before I went to Michelin. I drive hard though.

That is an option...They're super expensive, aren't they?
EDIT: do u mean Pilot Sport AS? I can't find a Pilot Super Sport AS on tire rack.
This seems to be a new Michelin UHP AS tire, but very little info right now...TR is impressed though:

Yup I love my Michelin pilot sport A/S tires! Best tire I've used hands down and won't use anything else on the market unless something new comes out. The new ones, A/S 3 are supposedly even better. They will be my next tires come spring.

OK so the big M is back on my list of tires to consider. I used them for years but had moved away due to price and performance issue on other cars.

+1 for the Michelin bandwagon. I swapped out my Yokohama S. Drives (which got incredibly noisy late in life) for the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires, and they have been wonderful. My ZHP does sit sometimes for a week or two without moving, and I have not had any trouble with flat spotting on these tires. Prior to install this past spring:
Decision came down to the Conti DWS's or the M. Pilot Sport A/S Plus tires, and I was swayed to them due to some of the concerns on the soft sidewalls with the DWS tires. First time I have had "no-season" tires on the ZHP, but they were chosen due to their longer treadwear rating (500) over some of the higher max performance tires. I haven't run them on the track yet, but after several long trips up the east coast as well as backroads cruising, they have proved themselves quite sticky in wet & dry weather. I would fork over the beans to buy them again, though they are a bit more money then some of the other options.
