My rears were fairly toasted by the 15k mark. I don't ever do burn outs, but I do enjoy some WOT rips quite frequently.

When I pulled the fronts for my new F14s, the tread looks really solid for the 18k miles I'm at now. I could easily see people getting 30k out of the fronts.

I'm at 31k, the original Pirellis are ready to be replaced. Luckily I bought a 2nd set of Pirelli tires on rims for $500. The new ones still have about 3/4 tread, so I have another set ready to go on.

25,000 here and they were very bald. Only a couple of burn outs on them. The joys of a hard rubber performance tire.

I have no idea how you guys are getting that many miles out of them. I consistently get about 18k on them and at that point they are at or past the wear bars. I rotate them every 4k, and have never done a burnout. I guess I just drive more aggressively/faster?

Edit: I'm at 64K total so I have been through a few sets to see it wasn't a fluke for me!

12k here and still look brand new. Hoping to get to 30k before having to replace. Since its not a dd that should be a few more years :-)

The roads I drive on are not paved very nicely and kinda rough. That is most of my commute as well. I'm sure that comes into play when you put thousands of miles on crappy paved roads.
