These will not be driven on the track, and will spend about 2/3rds of their life on the freeway or highway, but will otherwise be driven slightly aggressively on city streets.

Default About 1500 so far, I'd like to put more on them... :-\

It seems to be a pretty soft compound, but has a longer lasting treadwear rating than my S-02s did (220 vs. 180). Is there any info from Tirerack? I'd guess I could get 20-25k or so out of them.

Default They are still mounted on my AVUS wheels...

I have the 18" Volks on now with a different set of tires.

Pretty feathered at the edges. No wear bar, yet.

Default 5600...

...but looking sort of tired on the edges. I'll try to maybe get some digi-pics soon. I've only done 1 autocross on them, but many fast curves, quick starts, and high speeds, hehe. I figure they're 40% gone.
