I just retired a set of Dunlop ZI's after about:

8,500 street miles
+ 6 track days
+ 50 autocross runs

I replaced these with a new set of ZII's, which are working pretty well even in cool 40 - 50 F temperatures.

One warning with the ZI / ZII: When they get near running out of tread, the compound changes, and is not nearly as grippy as when new. You can't run these until they cord like a Hoosier or a NT-01.
