I am Consistently getting 150+ runs out of a set of Hoosier Radials all on
asphalt,
Now they do progressively loose a bit of their stick from 80+ runs but
nothing a
Little formula V can't fix, and if you don't care about stick you can get
even longer life

I was in the 160's last season before they corded; I had a backup car so I
left them on all
season and drove to the events, but the last 1/32 took forever to wear off
because they had become ROCKS

Keep in mind my car is sprung WAY soft, has 245/45 tires for 2500 lbs and I
am a fairly timid driver
But I got the same life with Rock 1's and K-tires both starting full tread.
Now the K-tires did however
Stay sticky the longest and did not need FV, R-1's got hard AND were
difficult to drive. (Old R-1's)
