I think I get around 4 or 5 from the back and almost 10 from the front unless I change at the same time. No better feel than a new sticky front.

Higher tire pressure might arguably increase life but it does so by decreasing traction. I’d rather personally spend more on tires then decrease traction on an already small patch.
