only guys who claimed rear tire mileage significantly over 5K were
commuters. IMO if you ride twisties and accellerate hard out of the turns
you erase your tires PDQ.

Ah, Ha!  That must be my problem with not wearing out my BT020 tires as fast 
as other more aggressive folks.  I try to ride more of a smooth pace through 
the twisties.  Perhaps some acceleration out of the turns, but not to the point 
of threatening my traction or to the point of requiring a lot of brakes to 
set up for the next turn.

Granted, making a little noise accelerating out of a turn is fun, my healthy 
respect for the bike, the road, the traffic and my very human abilities make a 
smoother pace seem like a great choice.  Being a little older and mostly 
riding by myself, means I don't have to impress anyone but myself, so again, a 
smooth, brisk pace can be quite satisfying.
