How many miles can you get with these? I heard 10-12K.

You heard correct. Usually it goes like:

Nittos: 10-12k
BFG: 5-6k
MT: 3k

Granted there are exceptions I'm sure but those numbers are about average.

That's probably about right. I've had mine for about 5000 miles, and they're starting to look a little worn. The problem is; they looked about worn out when I bough them
That being said. I WILL DEFINITLY BUY THEM AGAIN They give me the right balance of great traction and great handling
