Default Whats considered normal wear?

Considering the stock camber/castor/toe adjustments on our cars, how "abnormal" should the wear on our tires be? As in the difference in tread wear from the inside of the tire to the outside.

It would be different on every car. What I have seen is around 10 to 18K rear and close to double that for the front.

Inside to outside should be pretty flat.

If you get more than 8000 miles on the rears, you are not having any fun in this car.

stock tires went 19k, not completely bald but worn enough that i thought they needed replacement. went with pzero-nero, excellent grip wet and dry and quieter...better wear i will expect...more expensive but worth it.

Yes, they should wear flat. I had some ES100 tires, not a bad tire for sedans... but you can do a LOT better than that for the S2000.

I was short on cash at the time. Good thing about these tires on the S is that the traction slowly breaks, you can control it alot better when you realize it's about to slide. But yea, there are much better tires out there. Thanks for answering me.
