Not a noob question. I've been running an average of 3 times a month. I've had mine since February and have about 1/8" to my wear bar. I am watching the wear closely. I would say I have about 3 or 4 more months left. As far as miles go, I have about 1000 miles on them total. Mine are Hoosiers drag radials and not for daily driving in my opinion. They veteran track guys tell me that Mickey Thompson tires generally last more than hoosiers. I will try out both before my drag racing days are done. There are also MH Racemaster check them out at http://www.dragracetires.com/. Now if your doing burnouts on the street with these softer compounds, you might as well give your wallet away.
