I've driven 700 miles to VIR and been lapping on the same tires that months later would drive 800 miles to Homestead, right onto the track, and precede to embarrass slow Porsche Turbo drivers. With everything they have been put through I'd credit them for well more than 20k street miles.

My rears will need replacing soon, but even with the tread nearly gone they are still handling the constant NoVa rain right now. The fronts might get another 5k miles if I had some camber to play with in front.

+1 for RE-11s (265, 285 on Nismo)

How do you like the 265's on the front? That's a tad smaller than stock.

It is impossible not to crack a smile when you look at this tread.

To clarify, the stock front width is 245. The total circumference of the 265s are only a few % less. I think 2 or 3% more revolutions per mile, not noticeable.

I'm still on the same tires, still need to replace them soon (after I toast them on track) but there is usable tread left past 15k miles.
