17" RunFlat wear bars - what mileage did you hit them?

I'm at about 38,000 miles and I'm basically down to the wear bars on my GoodYear RFs... Time for a new set next Spring.... How far did you make it 'til your RFs were worn away?
TIA

Well not ocunting the ones I blew out I hand hit the wear barsin24k but I sure was darn close with the one surviving original tire. But I had a long history of flats with run-flats. I also didn't have the oppurtunity to properly rotate them as I I would have prefered.

I got about 36-40k (can't remeber the exact milage, but somewhere in that range) out of my OE RS-A's. Not bad considering I had about 3 auto-x's on them and with a 260-ish UTOG rating can't really expect much more over that. Couldn't wait to get the runflats off, put on some 215/45/17 Toyo proxes 4's and I really like that for an everyday performance tire that can do some coldweather duty

My daughter (2ndMiniac) got less than a week out of her last set, thanks to MOTD's autocross and about 20 trips through the Dragon Good thing I had a spare set with me. This set has lasted a bit longer, thanks to two cross country trips, but I'm sure they won't make it much longer than about 15K. I'm just wondering where she gets her aggressive driving habits from

I replaced my Pirelli eufori@ at around 20k. BTW.. I always thought that had to be one of the goofiest names for a tire.

9000 miles on the front POS Pirelli 17" RFs for my daily driver; no track events. Fronts were beyond wear bars down to slicks, rears still look new. Will be rotating my non-RFs every 3000 miles.
