8 events on my set this year, still plenty of tread left too. Same experience on the grip and tread wear as well. Hey, I can always claim the tire is holding me back

Bottom line it's a trade off on grip/wear and tire behavior over time. Max grip comes at a price in terms of initial cost plus wear, and with higher wear rates there's never a chance to run through a lot of heat cycles and harden the tire since there's no tire left!
