Richard,
My first set of tires lasted about 15k rear, 18k front, and that included about 1k of track time. I also spend some time in the canyons
. I don't know your driving habits but I don't think you go to the track (yet 
) so you may be about right for LA.

mine are at 13k and I have tread left, but I already ordered and received my replacement set of rears. Starting to feel it lose traction when wet alot more now though, not that I drive my S2K in the rain at all. But I guess it doesn't rain in LA right?
The fronts are perfectly fine still, and I can probably go another 2-4k before replacement of the rears., but we'll see....

I'm a little over 14K miles and I've still got a little rear tread and fronts are fine. I haven't raced or autocrossed but I'm sure i'll be ready for some new rears soon. My delimma is whether or not to buy the S-02s again or get something that wears better. I've hydroplaned on the Bridgestones more than once and they're a little scary.

I almost have 12K miles and there is very little tread left on the rear tires and about 40% tread depth left on the fronts. I am planning to order a new set of rear tires soon - I was hoping that there would be just enough tread left on the rears for my first track event in March/April.
