I don't think you should have gotten R tires if you don't understand how to take care of them.
Hey I got the above setup for $600 bucks, used. They had only two events on them. I bought them from a guy I know who autocrosses. I mainly bought the wheels but he said he would throw the tires in for $200 more I said ok, since my motegis with yoko parada spec 2s were way worn. I am not asking if I should run them on the street, I know you shouldn't if you want them to last forever, I am simply asking your opinion on how long you think they will last. I didn't buy r compounds to run on the street I bought some wheels which came with almost new r compounds mounted on them, and I don't have money to buy another set of tires right now, so I am going to run them on the street for awhile, besides I will be running my snow wheels and tires soon, so I am just getting through to winter. I am sorry you think I am an idiot who doesn't know what the hell I am doing, I came asking for help and instead I get treated like crap.
