Quite alot! I do alot of motoring ( probably 22k km a year) i like a spirited drive and the ute can be a little tail happy in the wet. I like acceleration but dont do burnouts etc. i am happy with the wear i am getting from them atm.

i had a set of khumo KU36 on my XR6 Turbo a few years ago. i got 35,000km out of the rears including 2 test and tune days at heathcote. at those test and tunes i did not skimp on the burnouts either.
