average miles
After visiting this site and looking at all the reviews at the time, I decided to play it safe and get Michelin PS3's fitted.
To start, the grip and feed back from the tyre to the wheel is superb, especially if you are like me and enjoy occasionally putting your foot down when you find an appealing road.
What surprised me was that this superb feedback remains throughout the life of the tyre.
Another surprise to me was the life of the tyre, given that I have just changed them with 3mm of tyre left, after 26,000 miles, 15,000 miles on the Motorway and the rest on a combination of road surfaces.
Now the downsides...
The tyre noise to start with was fine, but increased with tyre wear, however I must say that I hadn't noticed this until I changed my tyres recently.
What I did notice though was that as my tyre wear increased, the tyre grip in the wet fell off significantly, so I am glad that the feedback was superb because under hard braking it started to lose grip.
I hope this helps for anyone who has a similar powered AWD car.
