With moderate driving and minimal track time you should expect 10-12K. I've seen some people get ~15K

you wont find a drag radial that lasts longer than the nittos. the nittos dont hook as well, but they last longer. ive gotten over 20k miles on a set of nittos. anyways the only way to get a longer lasting tire is to go to regular street radial

Do rougher roads kill tire duration? cause where im at the highway and most streets are just terrible to drive on here in Corpus.

+1. They looked like they were wearing to much on the inside so i dropped e'm. i think they are at 26.2 to be exact

12-15K miles of normal driving. Depending on highway or city, dig runs and such, you might get 8-10K. I'd say you still have another 1-2K miles if you don't mind the bald spot.
