Default Toyo TR-1 tires, how long do they last?

So I forgot to find this out when I bought them, because they were highly recommended...

(needless to say I feel like a donkey now because I didn't find out)

How many miles do they last if I do not do any street racing/track racing?
I checked the website, but I did not find those details...

Someone who has experience with them, please reply.

I think they have a decent life. If you need another set there is a real good deal for some 19's that will fit your setup in the classifieds. I think for 600, and they have less than 200 miles on them.

Toyo's are notorious of flat spotting especially when they are around 50% worn or less. They will also develop a drift/pull when they wear from around 70% or more. They are usually fairly well priced but they are nowhere as well built as the Michelin Pilot sport PS2.

Yea including the Pole Position RE050s. They cost an arm an a leg for low treadlife........After my first experince with BFGoodrich I've become a big fan of their tires.

I can't even keep these in the garage during winter time!
