If street driven, no burnouts and such...how long would they last?

I remember seeing a rating of 10,000 miles for one of the brands, with highway use not recommended.

i have a few friends with f bobdys that run Drs for everyday driving and they normally get about 5k to 7k miles on them before they buy new ones but that is goin to the track about once or twice a month

Poor handling and zero puncture resistance?

The nitto nt555r lasts a good while my buddy ran them on his cobra for a while and he would get about 5k out of them. They sucked for serious traction (his car made just under 500whp off the bottle with fuel system problems)... He runs m/t now and they're a lot better for traction, but he averages 2500-3k miles out of them.

Gotta look at stuff and see how much room moving the leafs to the frame will buy me....then start measuring.

This isn't anything that'll happen anytime soon....just probably pipe dreams.
