I searched and didn't find anything.. ordered a set of the RE-01R's and I was wondering how many miles you people are getting out of them? I do very little highway driving if that matters much. Hoping to get at least 15,000 out of them.. Does that sound unreasonable? I don't spin the tires a ton.. I'll probably drag them 2-3 times.

I have over 18,000 miles on them and have plenty of tread on them.They will last you a long time as long as you dont do burnout's everyday with them.
I love them.

I just ordered a set and if I get 15K-20K out of them, I'd be extremely happy. Throw some track days or 1/4 mile passes on them, and I'd be willing to bet 10K-15K max.

Honestly change your rear springs.
If you run on stock springs they will be gone very fast.
If you havent do yourself a favor, pick a rear spring out from a company and buy it with your new tires.
ITs the difference beteween 5000 and 20000 honestly.

I've got 33k on my stock KDWS and they still have decent tread left on them.. Think the springs are killing me that bad? Trying to save for headers.

If you have 33k on stock tires then somethings going right lol.
Even with no burnouts i got like 5000 miles out of the stock tires on the stock springs.
Maybe you got some freak situation were your stock springs arent toast.
You will appreciate how much less squat and body roll your car has.. especially after those headers go in :D
You can get the lovells ones for 125$ a pair right now which are plenty suitable in stiffness.
Although i really like my king HD rear springs but there a bit more expensive.
I guess if your not having tire wear problems and body roll and squat isnt bothering you dont worry about it.
THey are an awesome cheap upgrade though.

You my friend, have balls. Have you made sure to check the very inside of the tire? Mine (at 25k) looked good from a brief glance but when jacked up, steel belting was starting to show.
