14,300 miles on MPSS and they're pretty harsh. I suspect a couple of aggravating factors: added camber and some driving in freezing and near freezing temps. My track RE71R aren't as bad.
Less than 400 track miles on the MPSS, otherwise DD.

Got 9,000 miles on the Conti's before I replaced them. All 4 were pretty shot. No track time on them, just enthusiastic street use.

Holy crap! I haven't even thought about looking at my Contis as I have "only" 8,000 miles on them. Better get under there tonight and have a look.

I've done just over 7000km and my rear contis are at the indicators. I do like to do skids wherever possible though lol. Plus two track days. Fronts looking fine still.

5,000 miles+ 8 track days/MPSS/front outside edge corded, all 4 have high-temp ‘chunking’

Just replaced with a set of 4S in OEM sizes. These won’t see any track time as I now have a set of dedicated 18” FL-5s and RE-71s.
