Question Toyo Proxes RA1 milage on STi?

Has anyone run the RA1's on their STi both on the highway and the track? If so what kind of miles did you get and how many track days? I'm thinking about putting these on but only have my stock wheels so I can't be swapping back and forth. Thanks for any help

I've heard of people getting about 8-10k miles combined street/occasional track on RA1s with Evos. I cant imagine why you cant expect similar wear on an STi... The best thing about these tires is the fact that it doesnt matter if you have tread or not in the summer..

If you run them full tread depth (i.e. don't shave them down for track use) they will last you for 20k easy...even with a few track days mixed in. They will even work fine in the wet...just don't drive like an a$$-hat.

But in general, the tires are sick! IMO of course. Stiff and grip like a mother! You take corners in the street and they don't ever make a sound. On the track you have to know your limits because when the tire goes...there's not much audible warning.
