I have 11k on my F and haven't experienced any braking problems (e.g. no squeaking or vibration). I haven't had it inspected by the dealer yet, so I don't know for sure the pad life.

I'm generally pretty easy on my brakes, so I may not be a normal case.

I'm at 17k on my 2009. I have no brake issues, (squealing, warping etc) and my factory Michelin PS2's are at 6/32" in the rear and 7/32" in the front. It's holding up pretty damn well.

Does anyone know given identical conditions whether the Michelin or Bridgestone tires will last longer? The PS2s have a higher (numerical) treadwear rating, but apparently you can't compare across brands.

There seems to be a consensus that the PS2s perform better

Thanks,

The PS2's have a higher treadwear rating, but longevity of a tire will depend on drive styles and habits. The PS2's are a very soft compound tire compared to the Bridgestones. I have this weird feeling the PS2's dont last as long as the RE050's.

That is what I was thinking too. I'm just thinking through what I want to do when my Bridgestones wear out. I've got a while to figure it out though.

Thanks!
