Hey Joe...sorry man.

1. The S2000, even within spec, will wear the crap out of the inside of the tires. I have ran negative 2.2 on the rear but, I would still get about 4,000 miles. Then, however, I would completely unmoun the tire off and mount it on the opposite side of the car. The car would still drive fine and I would be able to get another 3,000 miles on those tires.

angel... I expect the inside wear on the tires... I had the same problem with my first set.

What I DON'T expect... is such a radical difference between the left and right... they've always worn fast... but equally on both sides... I still have maybe 5k on the right... but the left is toast


also... I corrected the images.

Nope... on the way to work each day... I right out of my driveway, turn right onto the expressway... exit right (which really isn't a right...) and then make 2 lefts into my work driveway...

so really... it's about even for my daily driving...

I tend to wear left rear tires a little faster than the right rear, just because I favor right hand corners at higher speed. How agressive to you take corners? I'd also suspect slight differences in rubber compound in some tires, even if they are the same brand. I've not seen much luck with Kuhmo's lasting over 20K even on standard passenger cars.
