God yeah, I give the car death regularly 
That's why I keep banging on about the F1s not being my cup of tea. The sidewalls aren't stiff enough for my tastes, which makes the front feel a bit wishy washy when pressing on. They do grip through the bends well though. Traction is a bit pants, but then again I can't expect that to be brilliant with a mapped ED30 and an open diff!
30-35K from a set of tyres is epic!! I don't think I could ever achieve that, in ANY car!
I agree that the F1s Asys 2 have a soft sidewall that some might hate. The soft sidewall make them quieter and more comfortable. For a more family oriented car they are very good, IMO. You do have to forgive the sidewall when cornering harder.
At the moment my Ed. 30 has 330 BHP and 457 Nm/337 lbft and with Contis SC5 and in the dry I'm not experiencing lack of traction. I could if I launched it from too low speeds but when at +25 mph I think I can do a WOT without issues. The DSG makes the acceleration much more progressive than I'm used to in the diesel GT Sport.
