I appreciate everyone's feedback.
If you only drive 5K a year max, a fast street tire (RE-11, RE-11A, Super Sports, RS3) will certainly last three spring/summer/early fall seasons. That's a bargain for that long a period on street rubber of that caliber. I run a winter wheel/snow tire after Thanksgiving until April'ish to prolong the life of the summer tires, reduce wheel bending, and save the real driving for when the roads are dry and ambient temps mild to warm.

My next set will probably the Super Sports as I'm biased to a wet performer.
