How much does launch control wear tires?

I have been doing a good amount of launches lately. Not too much smoke and launch at 2.5k rpm Does this kill the Michelin pss tires ?

I guess if you really want to be specific you can calculate the rpm of the wheel, mass of the vehicle, friction from the of road surface, duration of spinning activity and then contact Michelin for tire compound specs....lol

Since you smoke often just measure the tread before and after and you will know.

Could last 1k miles could last 20 k depends on your driving.

I've killed the back 2 tires in 11,000 miles. I drive fast and do take corners quickly but most of my wear was due to doing donuts on shitty ass pavement that literally had chunks of sticky rubber in the wheel well.

I think I could have gotten 20k without my shenanigans
