Default How many miles?

Looking at my rear tyres after 2 weeks of *real* driving they are really starting to get worn and are rappidly approaching the tread indicator. My car has only just done 8k and will probably need them doing by the time it is serviced. My only concern is that my car is a lease car and what my lease co. will say, but hey who cares

I have never done a trackday, and I was wondering how many miles everyone else has managed?

Less than 4.5K on a pair of Eagle F1 rears.

I need my second set of tyres in 8500 miles.
It's a lease car too - they haven't mentioned so far but I haven't ordered the second set yet......

Haha!

I am trying to hold out until September / October if possible, so I have some nice new shoes for the wet months, but all this hot weather and sticky roads is just making me want to rag it around corners

10,000 out of my first set of S02s, including a track day.

Around 8,500 out of the F1 rears which replaced the S02s. The fronts are still going strong after around 14,000.
