    with no burnouts, just easy street/highway miles, it is possible for them to last 10K miles?

    Sitting at 15k with mine right now but one of them has a chunk out of the center tread causing a slow leak. They still hook like a sob on the street too :banana:

    Yeah I heard they will, I will find out this spring as I drive my car every day except when it rains, I have put 15k miles on my car since May, so I will see how long they last with lots of street driving

    I have about 12k right now and their ok. Almost to the tread indicators. They arent even that bad in the rain. Have a little bit of hard use, couple of burn outs, lots of 0-100 blasts. They lost a lot of grip compared to when they were new but that might have something to do with putting on the sc. My friend has 2k on his bf goodrich drag radials and they are gone.

    Nitto DRs suck!! If you haven't got them yet don't get them. Get the BFGs or MTs. I couldnt hook at all with these, with a best 60ft of 2.0 and would spin half way down the track. MTs are going on this summer.

    Ive had mine on for 11,000 miles and 8 months and i like them still have good tred even with 400hp. they hook very well you just need to warm them good. forget the rain or cold weather, a regular tire would be better. just my 2cents
