Default How many WOT 0-60 starts does it take to wear off tires completely?

0-60 starts are fun... but not for tires. I wonder how fast you can wear tires down if doing fun starts often (doesn't have to be 0-60... I think most of the rubbertracking occurs up to around 30mph)

This makes me think of the "how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie pop?" question.

I just hope the answer is more than three....

a lot... depends on the tires... depends on temperature... depends on your launch... there are so many variables... but if a normal person gets 40k to a set of tires you'll get 10-20k
