I am way too lazy to search... can you post your total miles and # of rear sets of tires burned (i mean worn) through... My wife thinks i am wearing out my tires too quickly.

I have exactly 20k miles and have gone through...

2/3 of the original SO-2's
1 full set of RE730's (that took some work)
1 full set of AVS Sports (much better than RE730's).

Currently running almost slicks saving to buy a new set of rear AVS Sports (fronts have 6k miles and are almost like new)

Jeez, those are either some SERIOUSLY low-mileage tires, or you guys are runnin' AWFULLY hard!

Hey Scot, how'd you like the 730s, I mean all things considered? I'm thinking of getting a set for my car.

In 13K miles I have:
- trashed the original OEM tires.
- 1/3 way through my second set of OEM tires.
- 1/3 way through a set of A032Rs for track.

8K Miles, original rear tires down to the wear bars. I just got a new set from Tire Rack this week. Fronts are only half gone.

Just hit 25k mi today. I've gone through the OEM tires, and I'm a bit over half done with a set of non-OEM S02's. This is with quite a few autocrosses and track events at TWS and MSR. Go figure.

Approaching 42,400 miles
and original rear stock tires gone(of course) and next a pair of Pole Positions gone(lasted better than stock's) and now I am back to OEMs(stock) with half tread gone. The original front pair held pretty good but had to let them go for another new pair because of uneven wear, but I still have them on my stock wheels for the rainy day.
