Just curious, really. But I am wondering what your rear tire life is (street duty)and if there's any "typical" treadlife among us here, or will it vary wildly (...and if you own a TT, may I guess that it's not just due to treadwear rating
).
Please post tire make model and approx mileage before replacement.
So for me, on a daily driven NB:
- Yoko AVS sports/13-15K miles
- Kumho MX/16-17K miles
Several sets of each so these numbers are consistent for me, anyway. Chime in, if ya don't mind!

All street Yokohama Advan Neova 295/18 on my NB. 10K miles (barely) if I don't rotate the rears. I did so this set @ 5K which will mitigate the advanced inside edge wear relative to the rest of the patch due to running -2 degress camber in the rears. I'm now at nearly 8K total miles (3K past rotation) and looking very even with good tread left on both. FWIW, fronts (235's) have 18K are still in fatastic shape but that's no surprise of course because there's no weight or camber to speak of.
That said, and as expensive as they are, these are by far the best tires I have ever owned.

34K miles and 4 sets of tires. (rears that is).
First two were Bridgestone Potenza re970
Then changed to Michelin Pilots, still can't get to 10K on a set. THe wear patter is dead even on them, no inside edges, no feathering. Just plain wore out. Fronts I replaced once when I went to Pilots. They are still ok.

just noticed this weekend when doing the plugs that the sumitomos HTRZ 2 are gone in the rear. 5k, maybe?
I run pilot sport cups at the track, so this is all street wear on the sumitomos and the fronts have a lot of life. I don't recommend them for wear or performance.
Biggest mistake on buying cheapo tires besides performance is that when you want to upgrade you have to buy all 4. If I bought the tire I was going to stick with, Michelin or bridgestone, I would only be buying backs this time around!

Less than 4k on Bridgestone 295/18 s02a for a C2S. Great tire while it lasted. But that's ridiculous for appx.$350 ea. Thinking of switching over to the summis htrzIIIs.
