Should be able to get 15K, maybe 20K out of them. They're some of the better DR's for a daily driver that sees more highway than dragstrip time.

A solid year plus a lot of track time. Great in the rain also as long as you have some tread left. It depends on your driving habits. Burnouts at the track greatly affect how long they will last. If you're just street driving them with no burnouts, they should last 15K+. Limit pointless burnouts and you'll get a longer life out of a tire.

5000 at most before they are useless if the roads have any moisture on them

I really liked mine. They aren't the best performing DR on the market, but it seems like they last the longest of all the major manufacturares. I believe I got about 10K-12K on mine (no track times just street use) before they became worthless. I'm actually ordering another set later this week and I'm pretty excited! The Falkens I have now are nice, but just can't compare
