That's about what I get out of my motorcycle tires, and they cost half as much. (and have half the tires)...

It's just part of sports car ownership. The guys driving the Viper ACR or Porsche GT2 have to spend neary $600 each on the rear Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires and those will typically last less than 5,000 miles (tread wear rating 80).

The flip side is they could save $250 a tire put RE050a's on it and make their ride that much squirrelier and dangerous.
