Had them on my M3. Not so hot. Okay all round tire. S03's are much better.

Default My 8000Es on my A4 lasted me 20K with multiple autoxes and track events.

I could not kill them.

Default I was overheating my fronts (damn quattro throttle on-understeer)...

i'm much smoother a driver now, so perhaps they would have held up better if I drove on them today.

Just passing along my experiences...The did last over 25k miles with like 5 track days on them though.

exactly, the sidewalls would be missing HUGE chunks of rubber.
