on my brothers 350 hp (@crank) mits eclipse front wheel drive, he went through them in 8k miles

that is a fast tire though.

you can get the falkens which last about as long and dont cost nearly as much

do a search to find comparisons to the falkens. everybody realy likes the falkens

 

i looked at the azenis and the tread life on them was 200...what does that mean?


sorry for the st00pid questions

If bridgestone's web site is correct in saying S03s start with 10/32ths (didn't check), then I've used up 5/32 in about 6k miles. So about 12k miles by my estimates.

This is with relatively mild driving around town, 2 open track events, and numerous autoxes.

Generally, people say that treadwear ratings should only be compared between tires of the same company. You're supposed to be able to compare treadwear by their ratios.

From tirerack,
a tire grade of 150 wears 1.5 times as long as a tire graded 100.

I haven't tried the Azenis yet, but I suspect they're better in the dry and (much?)worse in the rain.

Why not RE730? Costco sells them pretty cheap, i got mine last month. NO COMPLAIN, Z rated, and way enough for daily driving.
