I can add a data point, I ran my first set down to the wear bars, and I think I could have gotten another track weekend out of them but there was rain forecast at that event, so I got a new set installed. I did 8 track days with them over the period of a year, and also kept them on as my street tires with around (this is where I am guessing) 6,000-8,000 miles of street driving. I just left them on all the time. In fact they never felt better than on the last track day I did with them (but I had also gotten my first performance alignment so that may be it)
This is in FL, when I was in NC I kept my Sumitomo HTR Z III on all the time but only went through one winter with them and if it was really cold I didn't drive that day. The previous owner lived in PA and he drove the car as his DD and use the Sumis year round.
