Curious to know how much life you guys are getting out of your Sport Cup 2's? Assuming no track days.

I got 22k out of a set of N0 tires.

Included a track day and some spirited back road driving but also a good number of highway miles.

^ I’m already on my second set in 2018. 1st set lasted 8 track days before it started to lose grip (heat cycled out) and about 7,000 street miles!

Thanks everyone really helpful. Coming up on 8,000 miles no track days mostly back country and highway miles and was thinking they may be due soon. I've probably been conditioned to expect my tires to last no miles because of my old C63 though...

You can extract more from them

I just got a set of N1 in late March; I don't have the pricing offhand but I remember thinking they were rather cheap compared to what I had prepared myself to pay

i have no track days on mine, 6000 miles, i'm big on having "fresh" rubber so I will be replacing them with new 2018 date code ones, these have 6-7mm tread left on all four mid 2014 date codes, if anyone interested in them I'll sell for half price of new ones

About 7000 miles on my first set which included a mix of back road driving, highway miles, and 15 or so autocrosses. With no AXs I think I could have more than doubled that mileage. The SC2's seem to wear better than other competition style tires I've owned.

Surprisingly good lifetime - With very little track time, the SC2-N0's, despite shallower tread depth, lasted as long as my Pirelli P Zeros, 10-12,000 Miles on my Turbo.
Not enough experience with the newer and supposedly "Stickier" Cup N1's and N2's to know if the same is true.

Even with Track Time on my GT3, the Cup N0's lasted longer than any other Track tires I've used. Usually "Stickier" Tires have softer Robber compounds and shorter lifetimes,
but the improved "Stickier" Cup 2's lasted longer than the original MPSC's I used.
