Default Dunlop SuperSport Race mileage check, how many miles have you gotten?

I just ordered a set on a whim, for $91/tire shipped I figured I'd give them a shot this summer. They look like a decent tire/tread pattern and it seems that people running them on the street are getting decent mileage, I hope I will although for the price even a season of use on the street will be good....

Default Ran mine a full Auto-x season (about 8-9 total events) and still look good for another season.

At the price, they are a great tire IMHO.

Default only at tirerack. other sources have other sizes. i got 245/35/18s.

2.0ts don't need more than 225s if you're turning all four wheels

Default which size and from whom?

I got a set of 245/35-18s from ebay for about the same price which is sitting in my garage, but I will need to get new wheels to get them to fit.
