Default BFG R1's??

Thinking of going BFG R1's all around. 470-500rwhp and 500lb. torque. Want something sturdier for high speed and cornering than drag radials that can still stick. Anyone try these tires?

extremely sticking and wear well for an R-compound tire but, as with all like tires they are not very puncture resistant

Gotcha, but, how long would they last on weekend driving? Less than 100mi a weekend.
