Anyway to validate that so I would have a case to go to Goodyear for a new tire? I have had the car on the track at Roebling for 2 days when the tires were brand new, and one short autocross run. Everything else has been street driving.

Racer X - I hear what you're saying, but I would think your 500 track miles equal a lot more than 1500 street miles. Plus the right rear and fronts are fine. Granted not expecting 10s of thousands of miles on them, and darn it I can't seem to accept the look of any other tires I've seen once you look at these on the car. Is there a big letter Goodyear street tire in 15"?

In any case, I guess regardless of driving on street or track, I have to accept it is a race car and will consume tires like a race car does. I've heard that's one of the key race questions "what's your tire budget?"

Heck at the rate I'm spending on engine parts and gizmos, tires look cheap!
