i dont know how you guys get these kinda miles out of tires, but i've been running diablo corsa III's, and get like 1,200 out of a rear, i've probably got 1,000 on a rear Pilot Road 2 right now, and it doesnt show much wear at all, and sticks pretty damn good,

Only 1,200 on the street? That's about what I'd get, maybe even a little more, running Pilot Powers on the street and track. Do you toss yours as soon as you hit the wear bars?

Shit, if I had to replace tires that often I'd have to consider a different "hobby"! Instead of 5 or so sets, I'd have been through 30!
