Most who don't abuse them or track them get 9 to 12 thousand miles out of a set. Track days, auto crossing, and burnouts will cut that to shreds.
Correcto mundo. Thanks for the reply.

I got 2,500 and a couple days at the track. What do they say, mileage may vary on use?

Ha Ha... Yeah, I put my new set on last month before a track date and just hit the track again on Sat and they are half gone now.

Were you driving on rims at that point or lucky enough to only be down to cords? :-)

Actually I saved the tires because there is tread left. Mostly highway miles. Two trips to Indy but 18k is what it is. Got my car the same time as another guy here and we both had the same miles. He just swapped his out too, but went with Michelin this time.

PTM2 is your friend. Keeps the tires from spinning

1000 miles, 4 track days. I just bought Hankook RS3, but have not been to the track yet. They look good though.

Tirebuyer.com $798 shipped free for 4 (285/35/20 for 1LEs), after an $80 rebate.

Plus if you look around and sign up for email you can usually find a $50 off coupon.

How much longer do the fronts last vs the rears? On some previous RWD cars I was able to get twice as much out of a set of fronts as the rears. My rears are about shot at 10K miles.

Been on the gas a little too much, havent we? Lol

I would venture out and say that you can probably see 13-15k out of the fronts if you got 10k out of the rears....

I have over 9k and my fronts are about half way the rears are almost toast. For me probably almost 2 to 1 for wear front vs rear.

Not after you add Tax...

OnlineTires is still cheaper.

Not for me.... Onlinetires quoted me $124 for shipping, total was $929 delivered.

Tirebuyer was 950 delivered, less the $80 rebate = $870. Plus if you sign up for email (send to a spam account) you'll probably get a $50 coupon (I did).

Yup, you're exactly correct.

Online Tires is 929 delivered

and Tirebuyer is 950 delivered.

Both have 80 rebate and both have promo codes to add. Take these quotes to Discount Tire (they match) and you don't have to pay any shipping. That is what I did.
