Just kind of curious, as to how many tires & what you all are using.
I went through
two sets of Metzlar M5's (4852 miles on the first set 4371 on the second set)
Now I have a set of Road 2s on the bike, we'll see how these hold up.

Well on my CBR 2 fronts and 3 rears. I use power pures. On a trip I took to Star I used Pilot Roads 3 and they were great. Got over 4500 miles on the rear. I wreck the bike before I used up the front but it should of lasted for 2 rears. On the Power Pures I have been getting 3500 hard ridden miles.
On my Interceptor I used one rear and Avon Road Rider. I never kept track of the mileage but they were hard ones.
I have to add to this I did not count track tires. 2 sets of Brigdestones Bt003rs and I still have half a life left maybe in theses a set of Brigdestone R10 the best tires I have ever used.

Used road smarts up till september on my ole Fzr (bout 8500 on tires). Sold that and bought a sv1000 for a steal of a price And burned through a set of q2's in a month and a half (bout 4k miles) now I just got street legal track take offs on for a few last slow trips and for storage. Gonna get q2 front and roadsmart rear first thing next season

I believe I am on my 7th set of tires this season, not counting the new ones I'm having mounted this Saturday. 15,000 miles of mostly twisty riding (I don't commute on my bike), 2 DCTC days, and 4 big trackdays (MAM/BIR) contributed to the fast wear I 'spose. I ran exclusively BT-016's until this last set when I switched to BT-003RS's. I got as high as 4500 miles out of the 016's and as low as a 1000 (both AR trips ate an entire new set of tires in ~1000 miles.) The BT-003's wore out the middle in ~2500 miles of street riding, but should be great for trackdays. (Shoulder grip is amazing!)
I called my tire guy earlier this week and he greeted me with "Ben, I don't have any more damn tires to sell you!", then on learning I really did a new set 9 days after I had them mount the current set he went "You should get sponsored by Bridgestone the way you burn through them!". I wish...

I have been thru 5 sets of the Pilot Powers this season. Just put a new set of Power Pures on a couple of weeks ago. They seem to be a great tire so far.

Those who have actually NEVER tried riding the track could learn a thing or 10 about being a better streetrider; because let's be honest; none of us (Greg) are as great as we think we are. LMAO!

I think I'm on my 2nd set right now, PP2CT's, but I didn't start the season with them new as I recall. The previous rear picked up a nail near the end of its life.
I am amazed at the $ and time some of you guys invest! I'm pretty annoyed with my one set (or so) per season, 6-8K miles.

Maybe the equivalent of two sets of tires spread across six bikes. Kind of hard to say because the Ninja got Pilot Road 2s which have gone over 5,000 miles and still look very good, while the OEM tires were done in 2,400 miles and the first set of replacements got taken off after about 1,000 miles since they didn't look like they would last through any of the trips planned for the bike.

Set of PR2s lasted me 6900 miles (most would have replaced at 6300). Put another set on, sold that bike, bought new FJR, replaced front and rear on it recently.
So I can't do the math on all that but a couple sets I guess.

Sounds like you're a candidate for car tires, front and back.

I have bought and had mounted only 3 new tires this year because I have not been riding as much as usual. They were all PPs.
