I wonder though if there are differences in threshold for "need to be replaced" for different people... How much tread depth was left after 20k? I just put a new set of tires on our 2004 arc (Michelin Pilot Super Sport 225/45R17 - way overkill, but a very nice tire). The mess that was on there before (p6 back, dunlops front) was down to 5mm + I had a minor hydroplaning incident with the dunlops letting go. Even if I hadn't messed up the insides of the tires with a camber issue, I was keen to replace them. We had Nokian NRH2's on a c900 wear down to nothing on the outsides + 4mm elsewhere + still couldn't hydroplane them at any realistic speeds... so I gauge more based on how it works than the depth per se...
We will see how long the PSS's last. They are performance oriented, so probably not too long... I don't care that much though... I'd rather have good performance than mediocre performance and long life.
