Tire Mileage
Hey! What kind of tires is everybody running and how many miles are you getting from those tires. I know everybody drives differently, just trying to figure out what tires get the most miles on average.

12,500 miles on my Bridgestone RE050A run flats. Started out with 10/32" and now at 8/32". Should see 30,000+ miles from them.

Went thru the OEM Goodyear RMT's at 13.5K miles.

I got about 5K miles from original GY runflats and from each of two sets of Nitto NT05s - changing them out when tread depth got down to just below 2/32". The GYs start with 8/32" and the Nittos with 7/32" tread depth.
My current Michelin PSS tires have 5K miles at present (with similar driving/track use) and the tread depth is now at 6/32" .....but these tires started at 10/32". We'll see how the grip holds up over the next 4/32" on these excellent tires.

Stock goodyears got 14500 but that was after having factory settings changed at 500 miles 2012 Z06. Now have Mich runflats we will see if they are worth the money. They are quiet compared to goodyears.

10k on the stock GY's and they were corded in the rear and front worn pretty bad too. Realigned to Pfadt street specs and new Bridgestones on now. Only 500 miles on the Bridgedtones and now it's in the garage for winter.

Invos are a great price, get decent wear and have a good ride. They grip OK, but if you are looking for real grip the M PSS are the way to go. If you are a straight-liner, you can also go with NT-05 in front and NT-05R in back.

Thanks
I am looking for good grip. But I am not a straight liner. I need a good set of tires for Sunday driving and weekends at the track

I've got both NT-05's which I drove on the street for 9 months and are my HPDE tires and they stood up well. You may need to slow down in heavy rain. My PSS are my current street tires and they have much more grip than the NT-05's (which would have more grip than the Invo's. They will be my track tires when the NT-05's wear out as they have more than 0.1 G more cornering grip than the NT-05's, but are $3-400 more per set (likely to wear longer, too.
