That I can’t say. It’s only got 3,000 miles on it despite it being a year of ownership already. I don’t drive or commute anymore since I work remote full time.

From OTHER Corvette owners feedback and experience, they seem to think if you get 10,000 miles out of a set you should really count your lucky stars. Most are reporting 6,000-8,000 miles range before needing replacement, and most of those guys don’t track, and those that do switched to Toyo R888R for economy reasons, or Hoosier R7s for HPDE championship trophies.

I would say, they’re one of the faster R-comps, but not Hoosier/Hankook/BFG slicks fast. But they wear like uber slicks. Not the best of both worlds, but DO fill a strange niche as they do come in massive, 335 sectional widths on 20” diameter rims.

If you’re not locked in to a specific width or rim size, there are cheaper tires, and there are faster tires. They’re good, and I’ll likely replace mine with Cup 2s once they wear out, but their appeal is limited because I don’t chase lap times when I do go to the track.

Kind of a tweener tire is the best I can describe it. Fantastic if you want to try something a little faster than your typical r-comps like NT01 or R888R, but wears like the grip indicates?
