Default Miles on OEM supercar tires

How many miles is common for the factory supercar F1 tires? Obviously a bunch of burn outs and hard driving will cut them down. But i normal driving is what im looking for.

Im looking at a set of Tires that have 8500 miles on them for cheap, and the owner claims 2/3 tread on the front and 1/2 tread on the rear.

Trying to figure out how long that will get me.

Thanks

Look at the tread wear rating.

I bought a set from Tire Rack (not sure if it is the same exact tire or not). They had a treadwear rating of 220 which means you could get 24k - 28k out of them. So that sounds about right...

I didn't really baby mine, nor did I do a burn out at every stop sign and I got 24k out of the original hides. I would have probably pushed them a little farther, but inside right front was eating off--alignment issue......good luck!

I've heard 15K. Not sure how dead on that is. I'm getting ready to replace mine @ 14K.
