Default imo, no...

I was contemplating getting PS2's also and I only use my car on wknds too. Knowing I would be a little harder on the tires than a daily driver, it was hard to justify to beat on such a high-end tire.
I ended up going with a very inexpensive tire, the Sumitomo HTR-Z2, and I have been totally happy with the result. Now I'm not worried about not getting full yield out of the tire because even if it doesn't last me as long, I can go out and buy 2 sets of tires and still pay less than what I would've for the PS2's. Again, this is just my opinion, but I'm happy with the value of my setup and will continue to run these tires in the future.

Get some Vredesteins. I'll hook you up if you want to give them a whirl. Great for the $$
