The fronts would be smoking when I come off the track after a hard session and they were wearing with a pretty significant taper. Surprisingly, minimal fade though. I would get two days out of the fronts, then flip them and get one more day out of them before they were below 50%. Rears were fine, 7-8 days out of them.
I have 2 days on the 2500's and so far so good. No smoking and no taper and wear seems better, but we'll see.
I'm doing One Lap of America this spring, so I'm wanting to stay with a combo street/track pad. After that, I may go to the DS1.11

Thanks for the info. It's interesting you get 3 days out of the front HP1000s. I'm tending to get about 6, maybe 5.5 if you consider that 2 of those are usually track nights rather than full track days like the rest. But I tend to be easy on the tires as well and my lap times are a bit off what others on this forum are able to get on a bone stock setup.
