Help Choosing Tires

How many miles would you expect to get on the Z1 or XS? 15k?

Brandon, why did your tires get so bad after just 4k miles? Bad alignment?

My Z1s lasted 19 autocross events and at least 12k miles (winter tires) but probably more. Figure at least 4 runs per autocross, up to 6 usually. I rotated them religiously and had them flipped left/right once midway through last season. I wouldn't doubt that with a good straight up alignment you'd get 20k street miles out of them.

I'm assuming alignment issues. The inside of the fronts looked very bad. I've only seen wear like that from rears with bad camber issues.
