Mari,
What you leave out of the comparison between you and Mark Andy is car type
and driving style. I believe both you and Eric fall under the "smooth" style
description while Mark is self-described as "hard". Also I would guess that
the 2nd gen na MR2 may be easier on tires than Mark's Neon. IMVHO of course.
But overall I agree. 2-3 sets of R tires for a heavy schedule.
Regards,
