^ wow, that sucks.

idk the miles, but i have worn out several sets of r comps on track days.

street tires i normally take better care of, cause they normally run about $259 each cause i buy good tires

4800?! Jeez man, a bad alignment? Or were there some auto-x days in there?

About 6000 on Star Specs, daily driving. No track/auto-x.

I just got new g-Force Sports on there and hope they last a long time. Daily driver with mostly straight roads and not too much playing around.

I haven't had too many sets yet, but my first OEMs lasted ~11K miles under normal driving and 1 HPDE event.
