Default Tire help!

How long with these tires realistically last me? I know I can look up treadwear but Ive learned not to really trust that stuff. In the real world normal driving conditions, no taking it to the track or anything like that just normal DD conditions and a wot pull here and there what kind of mileage can I expect put of the tires with this rim set?

If its decent I'm gunna pull the plug on them because I need new tires on my stock bullits and for the same price of buying those tires I can just sell my current setup and buy these. I actually save around $150 by purchasing new rims/tires. I've got a guy lined up who offered $400 for my bullitts

Well on the link you posted and that set there is 2 options for tires... The sumitomos or Nitto's. And either of them will get you a good 25,000 miles or more.... I have heard the Nitto NT555s last up to around 25,000-30,000 depending on how you drive of course since they are a hard compound tire. The same with the Sumitomos, I have had mine for about 15-20k miles now and there is still %40 tread left or so. You can't go wrong with either tire tread life wise.
