Default Lifespan of Nitto drag radials??

I have an 02 z28 with a Yank SS3600 and bolt ons. Im thinking of gettign a set of nitto drag radials. It is mostly a street car with maybe a few trips to the strip in the future. How many miles should I get out of them driving the car regularly??

I had them on my Z28 for three months. I would say they had around 8500 miles on them which includes regular trips to the track(2-3 per month), numerous burnouts and a lot of street racing on them. If you don't go to the track that often then these are the tires for you. It just all depends on how you drive the car

Just going to echo what most people have said, but around 10k just depending on track trips and your daily driving techniques.

Mine had about 10k on them and were starting to get pretty worn, but the Z was lost before I had a chance to pick up some new ones.

My buddy had some 315s on his '02 GT daily driver (very conservitive driver) and he got close to 15K before he had to swap. But by then they were pretty much shot.
