I have put 11,000 mi my, still look great,
The back ones ok, do not <img src="graemlins/burnout.gif" border="0" alt="[burnout]" />

 

I got 13k miles on mine. The back were looking a little thin and the front had too much wear on the inside.

 

I now get 15 to 20,000 miles but before I bought my extra track set I'd get 10K,,, if I was lucky, and even less when I took my first 28 to an unqualified alignment shop.
Some of those all weekend long SCCA meets are hell on tires but high in the fun factor.

 

what tyres you using guys.

Previously I had dunlops on the front and Pirellis on the back. Replaced them with Bridgestone Pole Positon - they are great in comparison.

I here Kuhmos ( sp? ) are popular also.

 

I switched from P215/50VR15 Pirelli P4000s to P225/50VR15 Toyo Proxes TPT's on my OB phone dials this spring before SITM. The Toyos are a
great tire (especially in the rain) but the Seat-o-the-Pants meter tells me that the Pirellis were just a tad grippier on dry road. I switched partially due to cost, but mostly to try something else. When the time comes, I will probably switch back to Pirellis and spend the extra 100 bucks.

In the mean time i would like to get a cheap set of 16" phone dials to use for AX and DE's. If anyone is selling a set for around 200-250 bucks let me know. For that price i only ask they arent bent. I can repaint myself.
