10k is a good number to use. 25K? No freaking way at all. Hell, most of us only get 15 - 20k on a set of street tires.

All depends on the tires.

Mickey thompson ET street radials and BFG... not soo much, no more than 8 - 10k. Nittos will last a lot longer.

I'm running Nitto 555R 315/35/17 right now. They snag pretty good but I really want to see how long they will last with my occassional play.

Yeah i fianly have mine off i got a total of 15,400miles out of mine they are finally dead lasted a bit over a year and 2 months. I really enjoy drag racing alot and do so about once a month normaly in thw winter i go alot when i have the money and time.

If you drag race alot for fun its a great investment. I am putting another set of my car this weekend.

I've only done one small burnout with these tires and that was like 4 months ago. ...I'm actually comtemplating, taking the off and buying some regual street tires that will not wear out as quick as dr's..hell, i don't even drag race any more...seems such a waste of perfectly good tires..
