In general Pirelli tires seem to wear out faster than any other tire out there. No joke... We've seen people with the Pirellis come back to the shop with no more than 5k on 'em... Yokos last longer and I've always had good luck with them.

Pirelli's are known for grip, not mileage. I've had very good success with the Yoko and people who have tried it over the Pirellis. Great grip, looks, and price.
