Not as simple as that Gary - buy an expensive pair of road legal track tyres and you won't get many miles from them - they grip so well as they are soft compound which in turn means they will wear quicker.
The Parada 2's that I have, I am not really expecting any more than around 6000 miles out of the fronts before I move rears to front and put new ones on rear... I used to get about same from Toyos on an S40. That said, I don't run tyres below 3mm as the wet weather grip is so poor compared to new...
Wear on Bridgestones which were car specific for my last Subaru was only around 10000 miles though being 4wd, they did wear more uniformly front to rear...
