Also the condition of the track makes a difference. Flat tracks tend to wear tires more than tracks that have more degree banking in the curves.
Some tracks are asphalt and some are concrete. That also makes a difference in tire wear.
Outside (track) temperature can also make a difference in how hot the tire gets. Air pressure and the angle of the tires (the way they have the cars set up) will make a huge difference.
Also Goodyear makes different sets of tires based on track characteristics so not all tires are the same. Some may need to be harder and some may need to be softer depending on the grip needed to make the drivers safer. There is usually a lot of testing to help determine what tire works best for certain tracks.
It varies but around 150 miles.
Here is an interesting article about the Goodyear tires.
