Since I purchased them last June/July, I would hazard to say my DWS Contis have another 10K left on them if I behave myself.

I currently have 12K on the set, and that includes last fall's Dragon meet (three days of BTTW driving).

Also, high speed is rougher on tires than you'd imagine. I spend a considerable amount of time in the 80+ range.

When you purchased your 2nd and 3rd sets, what kind of pro-rating deal did you get on them? Conti has a warranty on them for 50K miles. As mentioned, I'll do good to get 25K. Fronts are still in great shape, probably 70% life left on them.
