15K miles on MT DR's? Mine were on the cords at 3K with track days once a month or so and relatively easy driving. They gave up grip around 2500 or so and if I could get 15K out of a set they would stay on my car year around.

I took them off the rims and flipped them after 5k miles to make them wear evenly. Rotating doesnt work you have to remove and flip. They were used nearly exclusively for street. Made maybe 2 track days on them, but did cut 1.52s 265/40/18

How are you assuming the guy was a dick? TBH, there are plenty of other threads on here that chronicle that MT don't stand by their products. They either refer you to the reseller or they tell you tough luck, have a nice day.
