Oh I'm sure you can get more, if you grind more. I'm still on the stock conti's with 23,000 and counting. I started doing my autox alignments around 8k miles. I do mostly hwy driving and I drive like a grandma on the street

When i pick mine up next week there is a race that weekend.... but i think i am going to do a good break in of the motor before I race it. I normally buy a car and race it the next weekend but this is my 1st NEW NEW car lol.

I ran the Blytheville pro solo..did my morning runs on day one then my co driver popped a tire on course (freak thing). I ended up jumping in a mini s and was .9 behind the type r when it was said and done. And I won the Texas tour in a 2009 Wrx...

I'm planning on going to nationals this year, so we will see how that goes I'll be in the cobalt..

If ur local autocross club has a good street tire class i would do that and just get Dunlop Star specs. I have run the Kumho XS, Bridgestone RE11 and Dunlop Z1 Star spec. I will say i love the kumhos on a rear wheel drive car, both dunlops and Bstones take the extra work the front tires do a lot better. (Ran the donlops and XS on my old 07 STi ran the RE11s and XS on my old S2000)
