Mine have lasted several thousand miles and several track days. I'm a bit surprised by the amount of pad I have left honestly. I wonder if the relatively mild ambient temperatures up here have helped their life?

just curious, since I think you are the only one to run both RE-11s and AD-08s, what are your thoughts on the two?

Well, my last track day on RE-11s was back in September but I was very pleased by the AD08s at GingerMan yesterday. They AD08s feel pretty much the same as I remember the RE-11s. Both tires stick like glue and clearly tell you when you're at their limits.

I think the AD08s will make way better street tires though. They're way quieter and seem more stable in heavy rain.
