I re-checked my math, I have 250 autox runs (not 400) on the stock pads with 14K street miles. I have less than 25% wear on the stock pads. Of course now I am a little older and smarter, I don't pull a Vin Diesel down Main Street every chance I get. Still, I have never come close to smoking them on the street. Different story at the track of course.
Stock tires just don't last long, I just don't think you can get miracles on them. My first set of RE11 lasted about 8000 miles in the front, another 2-4K left in rear, I can probably squeeze another 6 months out of my current set because the car is getting much better wear thanks to the bigger front tires.
Speaking of brakes, I just finished reinstalling the XP10. Waiting for the rain to stop so I can test its braking power vs stock tomorrow. I am currently seeing about a 5 feet difference with better rear brakes, I don't know how the car is going to behave with the more aggressive fronts as I can see the car engaging ABS or ice mode easily.
