You will get more than 10k miles out of them as long as you aren't doing burnouts like you are seeing on these videos. My 997 has the PZero summer tires and I have 20k miles on the front and the rears went out at 13k miles. Keep in mind a 911 has 63% of its weight on the rear of these cars and they chew up rear tires at an alarming rate. I think you could probably squeeze 15-20k miles out of a set as long as you aren't tearing up pavement every chance you get.
Also, manafacturers have different ways they rate tire wear. You can't compare a Pirelli 220 treadware to a Michelin, it has to be among the same manafacturer.

And I compared the stock 245/45/19 Pirellis to the 255/40/19 Brembo Pirellis, so that figure I came up with should hold....

70k on the Gatorbacks and close to 70k on General UHPs on the 2003 GT

that's about what the Camaro guys say they have been getting . . . maybe a little more like 12-14K, maybe a little less like 8K . . . I can't say from personal experience because I have none . . . obviously it does depend on how you drive; but the are a soft compound which is partly why they work so well
Its not just the soft compound... its also luggin' that lard *** around.

Hey, on a side note: What do you think about my internal argument about GT versus GT 500? It's not really a price issue, it's a transmission issue. How do you like the Tremec? (I had one in my 03 SVT Cobra, and I hated it). Plus, don't you think the performance difference (I know, I know, 550 versus 412) is marginal? All of this said, I'm leaning toward the Shelby just because... well, you know.

But ****, be honest 2010 owners your gonna slump down in your seat filled with envy when you see a 5.0 on the road. My 4.6 is fast enough but you know I have never complained about a car being too fast. Sounds like it'll have power similar to a c6 'vette. As nice as my 4.6 is it sure doesn't pull like a c6 vette. ****.
