When I was a Porsche guy many moons ago, I used to
autocross a tricked 74 911.  It had 205/55/15's all
the way around.  The rears would last about half as
long.  The car was not outrageously powerful (150 hp)
and I never did burnouts. In fact with one set of new
Comp TA's--and a fast course on a very abrasive
surface--the rears were nearly 1/3 gone after two
days.

Sometimes I fondly look back on my days of racing
Porsches.  It sure was cheaper than Syncro Westy
Tdi's.
