I got 40k miles once on some LT 235/75's on my V6 stick shift C1500 pick-up, but any type of performance car is never more than 20-25k miles. My C6 was used up at 13k miles on the rear (had the softer supercar runflats).

I scare my passengers and when I'm alone, I drive even faster. I think if you get 20k miles on your fronts, that is fairly representative of the average performance car. The point I was making is that the GY tires will last a little longer than the really soft ones like the Nittos.
