my front are fine I have them for 4 months and it seems to have 85% life. I daily drive 100 miles round trip. But my rear I replace once a month because im running -3.5 camber due to the rears being 18x10.5+39. Yeah it gets pretty expensive

My buddy runs these as "track" tires for autocross. He only drives them to and from the events and races on them. I think the rears lasted 6K miles and the fronts are at about 40%.

bought these tires at the beginning of the season. have driven on them exactly 8100 km. (driving style: commuting, weekend trips, country back roads,etc) so far the fronts are showing no signs of wear, the rears look to have roughly 50% tread left. great tire, excellent wet weather tire and still very grippy in low temps. If I can get one more season before replacing the rears I will be happy.

what are these tariffs?

also i found a cheaper price from discount tire when i bought these, and see if tirerack will match or beat. and when you checkout they add all the extra crap like valve stems,roadside,etc,etc that you may not need.
