Tire life vs my regular 1SS

Just wondering what kind of mileage is average out of a set of the 1LE tires. One of our dealerships where I work just traded for a 1900 mile 1LE and I have a 6700 mile 17 1SS 6M. I'm having a hard time here as it's next door to us and I do HPDE events but didn't want to spend the extra $6k for the 1LE. This car would be $3k more than I paid for mine. I suspect I'll need front tires by 10k miles, so the difference becomes even less once I check out the tires on the 1LE.

I would suggest to go drive the 1LE in sport or track mode. Your tire life and marginal price difference dichotomy will become obsolete by the 1st few minutes of your test drive. Just my opinion

If you do HPDE absolutely get it. You won't regret it! The car is a track star bar just a few that cost multiples of it.

I had to work yesterday and when I went by after work, it was gone. Pretty sure they sold it. There aren't any within 200 miles right now.

I measured 6/32nds when I got the car home originally. Not much to work with lol.

Not unless you don't want to buy it. One drive and YOU WILL BE SOLD.
