Tires...
Just curious. What's the average time/miles people are getting on a set of tires? Thanks.

Tire wear is VERY dependent on driving style. That said, as a rule of thumb any miles over 20k on a set of high performance tires can be considered a bonus.

If your going to blast a tire, please include the model without which the comment has no real value other than to allow the originator to vent.

How many miles is 4 months ?
I’m surprised, cuz I have Falken RT-615 as dual Street/Track use and they last 14k front ant 8k rear. The RT-615 has a thread wear of 200.
I’d expect the RT-115 with a thread wear of 360 to last longer.
