Yep- it sounds wrong, but that's about the mileage you can expect. Don't push it too hard. Get that tire replaced as soon as you can.

I feel your pain. I have just three track days on this set and the front is feathering (cold tearing). :cry: Already searching for the funds for the next set in the next four weeks.

ya wanna save some money get a harder compound tire. Or if youre real savvy, buy some rims and soft tires for the weekends and hard ones for commuting.

The part of the tire that has not touched pavement because you are too "chicken" to lean that biotch over.

My Dunlops I was lucky to get 4k out of them - they were worn out and cupping like a beotch.. My Bridgestones had 5k+ on them and still alot of tread.. Just put the Michelins on and only like 100 miles so I have no idea.. Dunlops may be good for the track and replacing often but they are NFG for the street, unless you like changing tires all the time, etc.
