Default How far can I travel on Nitto DR's?

My question is how far can I travel on my Nitto DR's without causing a problem? I sometimes take my car to work witch is about 20 Miles away from my home at speeds about 55 mph or 60 mph on the highway. Would this cause my Nitto's to lose tread faster.

A little bit faster but they should be good for at least 10K miles or more unless you do lots of burnouts...

you can drive on them just like normal tires... except in the rain Then you have to worry about hydroplaning

Nittos are great rain tires, what are you talking about? Its when they start going bald that you need to worry.

I second that I found that when they are new they don't handle much differently than the F1's actually. If it is wet and you hammer the gas through the turn both will give you equal problems.... Moral don't drive like a jackass in the rain and you'll be fine. I got 15K out of mine and I still have em (bald) for racing. Didn't pass inspection
