If I'm driving in a spirited manner, I'd say I get 1/2 the normal life of the tire. If I'm at a track day, that's at least one set of tires - though those are actually usually right around $500 each - or even less if it's a sponsored event. Some events will have a few tire sizes and sell them cheap - at like $250 each.
So, it's a bit of a variable as to how long the tires last. I mean, I can burn 'em off in short order if I want to just sit there smoking the tires. I have cars that'll do that without even doing a brake-stand. They'll sit right there and roast 'em, no braking required.
But, I typically drive in a relatively calm way and not all that spirited. The most efficient line through a corner is generally the line that's on the edge - meaning any sharper or faster then you'd be hearing the tires chirp as you went around the corner. Right at that threshold is generally the most efficient line.
I still think you should have a road race track built on your property, then you could abuse your cars without having to worry about traffic or pedestrians or the fuzz, only animals.
I am indeed being recognized as a Linux guru. LOL Someone's gotta do it. It might as well be me.
And, race tracks take up a ton of space. They're also costly. I bet I could do a go-kart track for not much money. But, yeah, my own track would be fucking awesome. For a 2 lane road, it used to cost about $10k per mile. I'm not sure what it'd cost now - and roads are different than tracks in most cases. There's a lot of pressure on tracks.
It really could just be a road, you don't have to have guardrails and all with it being your land just clearings at the corners where someone might run wide. But even a go kart track would be fun. I just think a real road that has no traffic or anything else that could be a hazard would be more fun cause you could take your real cars on it instead of just to carts
