I dont drive mine, I swap them at the track, the RC1 lasted 8 track days (around 1h to 2h per track day in 20 min sessions), I hear the nittos last a bit less than the RC1, only time will tell I have only done 2 days on the nittos.
I street drive on RC1; with a solid alignment, I average around 10-12k miles per set with mixed use.

For mixed duty, you have to decide if you want to maximize grip or life. For most track people, track grip is more important than street life, since you'll usually heat cycle the tire out before wearing it out.
