There's no talk of wear in that test, but I don't think you're test is going to answer that question either. There's a lot of factors that go into it, I think it's a pretty car-dependent issue. On our STU 350 we're not seeing wear that's crazy. We've got ~500 highway miles, 3 TnT runs, 12 Tour runs, and 24 ProSolo runs on them and they're looking fine so far, we're confident they'll make it through the next Tour and ProSolo events just fine. Are they wearing faster than a Hankook would? Probably, but it's not as bad as people are making it out to be.
You Southern and Coastal guys have such a seat time advantage! I'm planning to start the season in May with the RE71-R's in BS. Will report back for all.
