I'll definitely look into it.
May swap them for street and use PPS04 for track. I really like them for the track so far.

What air pressure was your friend running? It makes a huge difference in feel and traction.

They are all a soft tire built for performance. When you step into this grade of tire, short life, compared to an all season type tire, is to be expected.

I understand, but I kinda would like something that will last at least 15,000 miles. If I can

I actually do not know. He had driven down from Houston that morning, and I don't know whether the guys in the garage doing the inspections actually adjusted tire air pressure or not.

I agree it can make a huge difference. He has plenty of track time, so I would expect him to recognize and acknowledge that fact.

What I can tell you is I had the chance to drive 3x 370Z on the track that day. My Nitto Invos at normal pressure (it's my DD) did not feel near as soft as his Hankooks felt. The stock 2013 Nismo was much firmer as well, but I have no clue what the tire pressure was
