Now, on a miata, ive seen the RS3s last 148 autox session and 48 20 minute track sessions over the course of 3k miles - not too shabby. Conversely, I've had Star Specs on my s2000 be tracked for 20 weekends (8-10 sessions each weekend), set a new street RWD track record at Road Atlanta on a set with 4/32 left - sold to a friend immediately after that who got another 7k street miles out of them. I don't think RS3s would have done that. Granted - both chassis are much lighter.

I get 11k miles with 20 fast track days and that many AX events out of a set with my Z4 M Coupe. Closer to 20k miles on a less powerful car like my E46 325i.
