Our first set of Kumhos lasted two years. Smooth, yes. Fast, no.
This year, we have 6 BFG R1's (NOT g-Forces) that started in February
that will be retired right after divisionals in August; 4 Kumhos that
started life in June at that will be retired (I hope) right after their
last run at nationals; and 4 Kumhos that are brand new (for rains at
Nationals). This year we've (i.e., I and my co-driver--a/k/a my husband)
run a National Tour, 3 ProSolos, 16 local events, and a McKamey school.
Mark Andy (who is also from PA) has kept a similar schedule. He has
certainly used more tires than we have, but he's on the much more fragile
g-Force.
I guess what I am saying is that it certainly is possible to make a set
of R tires last a season, but driving well and driving a LOT would be a
tall order for any set of tires.
