what should i expect from a set of 205/55/16 Eagle F1 GS-D3..
in KM or milles.. up to you :)

got a good deal on them ending costing 7$ more per tire than the G-force sport same size (which where my first choice since the F1 are generaly more expensive)
 
Mileage is highly dependent on road surface, driving habits, tire size, temperatures, and more. I know someone who got 3,000 miles from them and someone who reached 30,000 miles.
 
temperature (i live in canada)
tire size (205/55/16)
i dont bring my car to the drag track (im considering about going this summer maybe 3-4 time)
can i expect at least a good 15 000miles ?

i wish to do 2 summer with them if possible..
 
Either way you may want to rotate them quite frequently, so that will bring the wear consistent through out the 4. This will extend the life.

I know for a fact that on our cars (almost 65% weight in the front) the front tires wear much much more than the rear.
 
Had a buddy do pretty damn well with them on his SVT. I have them now and don't appear to be burning them down too fast.
 
I had them on a daily driver, no racing or aggressive type driving, just a 32 mile one way commute on the freeway to work each day. Seemed like about 18000 miles and they got very noisy and the inside corners were down to the cording.
The rubber compond in retrospect seemed pretty soft (??)
 
They should last you atleast 15k miles but probably not more than 25k, maybe 30k miles in perfect conditions. Basically about the same as most other regular performance tires.
