At 10 runs per event, that's about 100 mostly higher speed Autocross for the season not including re-runs. My friend Matt also adds
six HPDE days and something around 2500-4000 street miles and for him this takes two sets of RE-71s for the year. He was generally able to get a full season on other tires.

He eschews watering ... so could be doing more but you are definitely getting some mileage out of yours it sounds like
Our courses are usually 50-60 seconds, 6-8 runs per event, and we use an old Nascar 1/2 mile tri-oval. The paddock area has relatively new high quality asphalt, and the oval is smooth river rock asphalt with less grip. It is friendly to tires, but treacherous when wet. We don't run if it rains, but that is rare here anyway.
