they wear as fast as you make them.

my guess a brand new set of pilot powers will get you on the average about 3-5 track days.

it will be different depending on how hot it is and how hard you push yourself.

for a beginner, you can get a set of take offs for about $100 and run them for probably 3 track weekends. the faster you are, the more the tire will wear. for the fast guys, they run maybe 18 laps, and then sell the tires.
