What kind of longevity are you getting with your Bridgestone RE050As?

Steve, this cracks me up. Until I read your thread, these guys had me convinced that 8000 miles was about the longevity of the Bridgestones. But they only tracked it...... "once".....hmmmm.

Yeah, I used to be worried reading about the wear but after driving around for a while I determined high wear only comes from a lot of track use or boy-racer driving on the street.

I have plenty of fun in my Z but I don't track it (yet) and I am not a punk kid, so my wear is pretty good. I fully expect 30k+ out of these if I don't take it to any track days.

Yeah, it all depends on how you drive and where you drive. I usually only get about 6000 miles on mine which includes 140 auto-x runs, and a few track days.

For anyone interested I'm selling my nearly new RE50A's.
