Default Tread life of nitto 555Rs ?

I'm not sure were to post this but figured this was the best place.

I'm thinking of getting some nitto 555R drag radials for my truck 325/50/15.
I'm wondering what kind of miles I can get out of them ?

If I can get like 12-14k out of them then I will just run 1 set of wheels, But if they will only last 4-6k then I will run them on another set of wheels and just use them for the track.

The tires I plan to get should last 2 years or 30K miles but they will suffer in the traction department as they are only 255s.

1 set of wheels its
$200 for wheels
$200 for front tires
$360 for rear tires.
= $760 total

or 2 sets of wheels keeping the wheels I have now.
$100 for wheels for the drag radials
$400 for tires for the DD wheels
$360 for drag radials
= $860 total

Part of me wants to change my wheels anyway but idk. Since the wheels I have now are 40lbs each with out tires they are heavy.. as a DD its not that big of a deal but at the track they suck.

Im also open to ideas on tires to run on the back. Need to be 10-12inch wide and 27-28 inch tall.
