Default 15000 on BFG DR's

yeah thats right. i just replaced my DR's today with the KD's for a little more traction in the rain. my DR's were bald in the center but still had the sidewall grooves. ive never heard anyone having these tires last so long. ive only roast them hard a few times a month and my car isnt heavily moded so i havent been breaking them loose everywhere but still. i heard that this one guy only had his last for like 1700 miles. damn i just wanted to post this cause i thought this was a ridiculous amount of miles on DR's. what do you guys think. how many miles have yours seen?

friend of mine wore a set of his out during a weekend cruise in ocean city but hes got a spool and they tear up tires fast. ive got less than 10 passes and a few hundred miles of street driving on mine and they still look practically brand new.

Thats damn good for BFG DR's. My Nitto DR's last between 10-12K usually if I don't heat them up a lot.

I bet they were as smooth as a baby's bottom when you took them off... I think I saw 4500 miles on mine, and almost 10k on nittos.
