On street driving (maybe 15 fast highway sprints in early hours for 20 miles each smooth and coarse pavement mix, some 60-0mph stops, but no track nor autocross), my RE-11 rears got down to the wear bar (around 2-3/32nd) after 15k miles. Fronts still had 6-7/32nd. Stock alignment. Not my daily driver.

Heat cycling - Summary of my understanding is heating tires to a certain temp for certain time (temp that's well past what normal street driving generates, especially short commutes), then a cool down period to allow molecule re-bonding. Street driving will wear the tire down, just not heat cycling.
