That applies to almost everyone in SoCal.

Probably has to do with the rough/smooth track surfaces.

Changing gears for a sec, I wondered about mixing fronts & backs, but you've (1:57 at BRP!) convinced me.

4-5 days? How do you do that? I beat the hell out of mine and still got 7 days.

Yeah, I'll get about 4 days out of my NT01s (maybe 5 but I'm not going to risk it since I drive to and from the track). My car is a lot lighter than most all E9X M3s...it's just a hair over 3,000lbs without me in and a 1/4 of a tank and I still wear them out fast (I run between 34-36 hot). |

My passenger side tires was more worn then the driver side ones after 2 track days. I'll flip the wheels around since I'll do BRP for 2 days in late Feb also with the 13CW configuration. I'm going for 1:55 now that I have my roll bar and harness in.

Driving to the track on them may be part of it, I was lazy once and drove home on them and noticed increased wear. Won't do it anymore. I also evaluate while at the track and rotate so one side doesn't get more worn.

Depends...PT is sometimes cheaper than discount tires since they charge sales tax if they have a distribution center in the same state as the shipping address.

Discount tires doesn't have anything in CA so no sales tax for us Cali guys (neither do PT). |

No trailer queen here...she is a weekend and DE track car. But alas, there's no room inside of her for an extra set of wheels/tires so NT01s/RA1s to and from the track is the only option (even less room now with a roll bar in the back).

And james is talking about flipping on the rim as you always end up wearing one edge more than the other. Usually the outside but depends on your set up. |

The tires do wear evenly side to side though even though I'm running over -2 camber front and back with all the highway miles so I don't have to flip them on the wheel (I'm sure driving it on the highway helps even it out the wear as I told my shop how I'd be using the tires). |

What can I/we say. As confirmed by a number of people here in SoCal, we get 4~5 days. As I stated earlier, perhaps it has to do with the rough track surfaces here.

since you are staggered do you get more days out of rears than front. if i couldnt go front to back that would be the case for me. front passenger wears quickest.

The tracks I am on are quite smooth. They reseal the surface to prevent cracks ( winter heaving) so the surface is not real rough. They have concrete in the high wear areas and that is even smoother. When it rains the southerners often slide off the track and into those close in walls. We tell them to be careful. Wet seal coat is slick.
