wow - what tires? I think mine will probably go to 12K or so - 15 if I am really lucky, and that has been about as good as I have done with Pilot Sports on past cars.

when you start using r-comps for both track and street you will simply stop conting miles and start counting days.

+1 (what he said) i run hoosiers...

Take out the neg camber and toe and drive it slow and you will get great tire wear.

I prefer max camber aggresive toe settings and drive her hard and i dont worry about changing tires.

Yeah the original from the factory. I do drive it hard on the streets, but most of my miles are on the freeway. I have a 25mile commute each way to work and 23 of the miles are on the freeway.

I tend to like to slide

and slide a lot. I'm not really complaining about the tire wear was just wondering if I was getting close to what everyone else was. I kind look at tires basically like gas, just something you use and replace.

I've yet to track my car, but I only got a half of a track day out of my last set of tires on my bike and that kinda sucked, but it was extremely hot out and it was an open track all day

I put ~ 9,000 on my latest 'summer' tires on the rears (PS's) before I pulled them off. BTW - My left and right rears were wearing at slightly different rates...but there was no sense in buying 1 shaved tire to get another month out of them. Both my fronts have ~ another 10,000 left.

I like to slide it a little, too.

That's probably my issue - I push it through the corners a little too aggressively for max tire life. No tracking, just around town, but mostly off the highway. No way I'll make it to the 20s - fronts will last forever...

With my '08 C2, I got 22K miles from my RE050, front and rear. Daily driver, NO track days.

With my '09 C2S, daily driver with 3 DE days, I got 15K from my rear RE050's and 20 from the front set.

With the '09 C2s, next set of RE050 rears, I got 5K miles. The difference? 4 DE and 4 A-X days. I'm now running P Zero N2's, and doubt they'll last as long as the Bridgestones.

If you're going to have fun with the car, you're going to use up the tires in a hurry. I don't think there's any way around it.

And it sounds like I'm pretty close to par for the course for those that tend to drive their cars hard.
