It's more that it's Dylan's belief that driving on poor tires/conditions makes you a better driver. 
if you can drive perfectly fine with bald/shitty tires... wouldn't driving on perfectly good/sticky tires be that much easier??

I just don't know that public streets are the best place to undergo such training.

Straightline driving kills tires on our car. Putting zero highway miles on them will usually allow for a more even wear.
And yes, 16k is a ton on S-02's.
The longest i went was about 15k and they were some hydroplaning mofo's! 
ES100's suck. Not sure about the Avon ladies.

I actually went almost 24k on my S-02s... I know very well the hydroplanes you're talking about, Skip!
It's also an indicator of my "wussiness", I guess though I got it with 14k on them... and they had some tread at the time, so I guess the guy didn't drive it that hard either.
