How Many Miles Do your Tires Last?

If you have a lot of negative camber, increase your tire pressure some and you can "somewhat" lessen the inner wear as you push the wear more towards the middle of the tread.
I discovered early on that if you engage in hard acceleratration on a regular basis you will lose thread rapidly, especially the rears. I am not talking about smoking the tires. The TT just hooks up without smoke but you are still leaving rubber on the road. I now measure out my acceleration blasts to save wear. It seems to work since my tires are not wearing out so fast.
There rear tires will always wear on the inside long before the outside half does. You wanted a car that handles well, so you are stuck with a 1 degree or more negative camber on the rear wheels. You can change the setting and get more tire wear but you'll have to contend with severe oversteer.
well i do alot of stupid burnouts and ****, so my back ones eh prolly about 4 months max. my front ones will last for a long time like 10 to 15K. no my question is how long do you guys run on you tires??

The outer 1/3 of my rears get to the cord before the inner 1/3 need replacing.
