Just ordered the third set of rear S0-2s @ 15,500. Consistently 8000 miles/set!

You live in Florida, how can you go through them so fast? Hopefully I can get over 10k off mine .

I got about 10 - 11k miles on my S02's. Of course, that was pushing it a bit more than necessary. I still don't get how folks get 15 - 20k miles out of theirs!

9000 on mine and they are gone. You know it is bad when the wife points it out to you! "Hey honey, your tread is gone" followed by "are these the tires you bought last spring?"

I've gotten 15,000 miles out of each of my three sets of S02s. And that included autocrosses and DEs and Hill Country canyon carving for each set. I guess some people just can't drive smooth.

Maybe it is the crapy highways. Huntington Beach has more pot holes that residents. Worst streets around with no tax money to fix.
