I've got 16.7K+ miles on my original Contis and they are just approaching wear bars now (rear tread varies from being at "E Pluribus" and "Unum" on the back side of a penny, still plenty to go). This is after 1 autocross and 5 DE days where they were not babied. I drive with vigor on regular roads as well. Would probably go with another set of SportContacts if they are still available... I'm very pleased with how these have lasted - only the outer edges show any real residual wear from the track events despite the "black curds" developed on the inner treads during the event.
