My wear seems even front to rear on 255/275 18s with Endless ME20 in the front and ME22 in the rear.

I was running MDM/traction for the last year prior to switching.

In the LCI, Megator, MDM/traction is just subtly more tolerant of slip angles than sport and not at all fun to drive in. A friend that I track with has an M2C, and we’ve discussed the difference. Pad wear, as I said, was almost even, with fronts wearing slightly faster than rear when I was running in MDM.

The move I mentioned in the OP was from MDM/traction mode (short button press) to OFF (long button press). I’m very familiar with the characteristics of MDM/traction mode, so I’m confident I’ve successfully held a button down for 5 or so seconds until the warning message pops up in the instrument cluster display.

landapanda - my assumption was that I’d see longer rear pad life as well with the move to OFF (long button press), but that hasn’t been my experience so far. I’ve seen your track lap time and other track oriented posts. Are you typically running DSC off? If so, what’s your front vs rear pad life?
I have had best results with pfc08s. I can usually get at least 8-10 days on the fronts and 10-12 days on the rears w dsc off. In mdm mode, the rears wear out faster than the fronts (after about 6-8 days).
