At a guess... 900?

Anywhere from 800 to 1000 depending on brand, model, EV specific etc. It’s a bit of a minefield
We can all share the pain together. 
Sounds like prices are similar to when I bought CSC7 but for the Mustang about 18 months ago. It cost me a smidge over £900 (Front - 265/35 R20 £422.82 and Rear - 305/30 R20 £479.50). And that was on top of the fact I had bought new RTR wheels to use them on... at a cost of £1,600. Ouch. Worth it though.

I’m rinsing through mine. About 3k miles in and down 2mm. Will probably get 7-9k miles out of them

I drive a 320d as a daily, so when I’m in a car with 6 cylinders and no turbo, it isn’t for driving economically

The expected wear rate does vary greatly between different people. Hopefully the SC7 will last a little longer

I think most new tyres aren't great. Expected life from the Asymmetric 6s on the 320d are 9-11k and that just does motorway miles.
Mine rarely leaves Comfort. If I need a quick overtake I’ll put it into Sport mode and it automatically drops a couple of gears, but I think I’ve used Sport+ maybe twice in three years.I must be getting old. Mines now predominantly in eco-pro mode nowadays
Will just have to see how they they are on the local A roads. I could also get a few extra miles out of them if I was a little more sensible. However, it's not the sort of thing you purchase & then look for a sainthood once you hit the go button
Really? I've done far and away the majority of the 55k in my Focus on a pair of Asymmetric 5's. The other pair were replaced about 3-5k ago mind.
Yeah I used to put it in sport mode for the vroom vroom but petrol's expensive lol
The bigger flex is the mpg in a 3L turbo

Just arrived home and as I got out, the dreaded sound of air ******** out of a tyre 
Looks like a new tyre is needed as it's a huge bolt. Must have run over it mere moments before getting back because it was deflating very quickly.
