I see anywhere from 10K to 20K depending on how the car is driven and the alignment.

As far as I know, its impossible to roll-back the odometer on a S2k. At 50k, I'm sure he's been through more than just 2 sets of tires.

I bought my car at 8k miles and the previous owner used it as his weekend car so the rear tires were fairly worn, its my daily-driver during the summer so it gets a lot of highway miles.

Yeah that is possible. This really isn't the appropriate section of the board for this, but what makes you believe the mileage is incorrect? Have you tried a Carfax? I've seen S2k's with 5k miles on them already with non-OEM tires.
