Definitely not hard enough. Hit the track, autocross or something.

Not hard enough. Like others have said, go to a track day or autocross or more cruising & mountain-pass driving.

I went through the rear set of my Falkens in 9k miles in 10 months. I do a lot of S2000 group rides, just started autocrossing in January, and have attended 1 track day on them. LOVE this car!

Paul, Isn't your car SC'ed. How do you managed to keep the rears intact? Drive it hard and maintain it often!
