Ouch. I thought I would get at least a 10 thousand out of them. Oh well, at least it is money well spent.

I got 12K out of mine, but at 12K they were very close to slicks.

Check your inside fronts also, at 8,000 miles I replaced my rears, at 10,000 miles I noticed that I should have replaced the fronts. The inside halves of the tire wear twice as fast as the outside due the the aggressive camber settings.

Yeah, the insides of my fronts were also worn at 12K.

Make sure you check out the insides of the fronts on a regular basis.

Unless you do a lot of highway driving and are willing to let the rear tires go down to nothing, 8-10k miles seems about average. Let me know if the dealership will cover an alignment under warranty.
