50k miles on the car or on the tires??? How much tread was left?
I've had these tires on other cars and I don't think I've ever topped 30k miles. I can't recall owning any performance tire that racked up 50k miles.

The best I've found for canyon carving, track days etc are Toyo R888R's. However I'd definitely reconsider on a dd that gets driven any serious miles weekly or in the rain.

Call me skeptical, but 50k miles on a set of tires!? Maybe, if you drove 30 mph everywhere you went.

I would go through 3 maybe 4 sets of tires before 50k
