10-15K depending on driving style. Stay under 60 in the rain.

My MT ET Street Drag Radials lasted almost a year until I sold them. They were just touching the "wear markers." I daily drove them and made several passes at the track with several long burnouts. Now after a few months on them dont go over 50-60 in the rain or you are begging to die.

Nittos I would think could go for longer. I am about to get some Nitto 555rs in a 315 so i guess we will see.

with the nittos its not quite that bad! they still spin in the rain but are probaly twice as good as the MT's as far as treadware is concerned! but traction its the other way around! Nittos are like a performance street tire!

Mine were fine in the rain (305's).

But stockers will be always be better simply because they are narrower
and have a deeper tread design.

Just don't go getting caught out in a huge down pour and it will be about
the same.

Mine are going strong for over 2 years. Track them and street drive most of the summer. Depends on how you drive. If you do a lot of burn outs they will go quick. If not they last a while.

Traction is gotten from a softer compound tire. A softer compound tire wears quicker. It's a trade off. I want to try the Micky Tompsons next.

I would not worry about wear too much for normal driving.
