I guess I should have worded my question a bit better. For regular daily driving what is the life expectancy of these?

In general, for extreme or max summer tires 10-20k is about the range I always figure in.

E.g. just inspected my PZeros (max summer). 9500 on the clock. 40-50% worn. Just DD use too.

What he said^^^

I normally get 10-12k out of brand new set of tires like the z1 star specs, azenis, re01r, ad07 etc etc but I also track my car

Right. From my A046, I only got about 11k miles. From Azenis about 30k. So hopefully the R-S3 will be more like the Azenis.

Is Tire Rack planning to replenish their stock on the 234/45 17's regularly?

As regularly as we can get them from Hankook. Right now next shipment has no eta from them so do not know when they will be in stock again.

Well, that makes it difficult for me to change my mind and get the Hankooks instead of the Direzza's then.
