I set a new personal record

Worst, that is. Michelin Pilot Super Sports on a 2700 lb. Fiesta, from new to wear bars in 5000 miles, including 2 autocrosses. Ouch. Rotated them to the back and hoping the Focus arrives soon.

That's going to get expensive in a hurry.

Yeah, I was killing sticky tires on the E30 every 8000 miles. I don't buy sticky tires anymore, hah. Yokohama S.Drives work just fine and last 25k miles

Are you trading in the FiST or selling it?

A friend autocrossed an early CRX 10 or so years ago. The combination of whatever super soft Kumhos, aggressive driver and coarse asphalt brought the average tire life to somewhere on the shy side of 50 miles...

Trading it. I bought it specifically to be trade bait.

Unless someone makes me an offer I can't refuse.

Holy crap... Fiestas are 2700 pounds?!

That's...impressive. I thought my Saturn was bad, I'd get maybe 1000 miles out of fronts regardless of what kind of tires they were, but my k frame was more of an L frame thanks to rust.

Still regretting that car, literally the day after I scrapped it, I found out about lemons racing and it would have been perfect for that.

I got 5000 miles out of the OEM tires on my FiST. They shredded at the shoulder on two fronts, tread was still pretty decent. Could not hold up to repeated cornering forces.

I know the OE set on my old MS3 (Bridgestone potenza re050a) lasted about 11k with DD and 4 autocrosses and that was trying to make them last towards the end.

I got almost 30 out of mine....

Reading the title I thought the answer was going to be... 5 times.

It's closely tied to one's age. Sigh

Well, I feel a E36 M3load better about the rate at which I go through tires on the Jeep now...

If their trade offer is exceptionally insulting, let me know & I'll shoot you a slightly insulting counter-offer.

Well E36 M3 I got a baseball bat, cement and two buckets. That can be arranged if that is what you truly want.

I got 22k out of mine. Aggressive factory toe and camber settings do that.
