18k out of stock tires is good
It'll be VERY hard to get tires that last longer than 20k miles on the rears... (The people that get 30k out of the rears shouldn't own a sports car)

LOL! Thanks, that's good to know! My car is not a garage floor weight that sits covered. It's my every day driving car...it just goes fast and corners well, which fits my driving style to a T!

I do plan to one day take a high performance driving course, because even 2 years later, I'm still a bit timid of her power. I need to learn how to fully enjoy driving her.

Any recommendations on tires?

Hey, I've got 22k on my NIMSO and while I've got tires on order could probably stretch it another 5k miles if I wanted to. I definitely don't take it easy on the car either and that includes 2 auto-x sessions.
