A good set of street tires will last. I just replaced a set of Bridgestone RE730's with RE750's. (The RE730's aren't made anymore )
Those tires have about 28k miles on my Impala SS. As well as normal street duty, they have worked through more than 5 high speed open track events at BIR (3.1 mile track) and MAM (2.3 mile track). Each event was 90 to 100 miles on the track. There is several drag race days and a high speed autocross event (1.3 mile) on them also. My street driving has been called 'rental car like'.
I could only rotate front to rear and kept an eye on the pressure. I usually run them a little on the high side for PSI.
If it wasn't for the occasional rain that I have to drive in, those tires would still be on the car. I was really impressed with them. The new RE750's seem to work well too after one event, but don't 'look' as nice as the RE730's.
Just stay away from the $100 tires and you should be able to find a good street / track tire. Drive smooth with a decent suspension set up and you can make tires last a little while. I think the 1000 horsepower will be the hardest thing on your tires!
