Mine are holding pretty well in terms of track weekends, if I were to add up the miles driven it would probably be terrible
Last October I tore up the outer edges of my fronts at Roebling and subsequently got some some GT3 LCA put on last November'ish. I'm still on those fronts, and I'm still on the previous backs that I got April 2015.
Backs currently have:
2 days RRR 4/2105
1 day Sebring May 2015
1 day RRR 6/2015
Autocross July 2015
Autocross August 2015
Autocross September 2015
2 days RRR 10/2015 - this event shredded my fronts, and I flipped the backs on the rim after this event
New fronts + GT3 LCA, same backs as before
2 days Road Atlanta November 2015
1 day (3-4 sessions) the FIRM December 2015
2 days Sebring January 2016
2 days Road Atlanta March 2016
1 day Sebring April 2016
Ksports put on
2 days at Roebling April 2016
2 days Roebling June 2016
1 day The FIRM July 2016
The backs are getting down pretty close to the wear bars, but the fronts are looking great and plenty of tread left and nice even wear. Bumping the camber up (I'm currently at -1.3 in front, -1.7 in back, zero toe front, 1/16" toe-in in the back) is really working for me.
In terms of miles, the backs have ~8,000 miles on them, and are close to needing replacement, maybe 1 more track weekend. The fronts have ~4,000 miles on them, they have plenty of life, and because they are wearing so evenly I'm not planning to flip them on the rim. Some of these miles are guesses since I sometimes trailer the R-S3 on my tire trailer and drive to/from on my street tires. But sometimes I get lazy and don't switch for the way back
Yikes, I shouldn't have added up the miles... In terms of track day longevity I am happy with them
