My autocross club runs 14 points events, plus 4 non-points spring practice events, and many also go to the national tour event at Packwood and another regional shoot out in Montana. A set of RE71R's will usually last the season on a car that isn't a daily driver, but it takes management. (spraydowns after runs, flipping mid-season)
With my work schedule (working every 3rd weekend) and having kids, I make it to about 6 autocross events and 2 HPDE's per year. My first set of RE71R's did that plus about 10,000 miles and corded the front INNER tread blocks.
I decreased camber from -2.8 to -2.4 this year, but am regretting that from a grip standpoint and its probably is only an issue because I am not doing enough "white knuckled" driving. We'll see how they wear this year.
I agree on the public service announcement . . . if you have PS2's, even if it is a low mileage "collector" car, get 'em off!!!
