Here's a good read~

I'd also add Bridgestone S0-4 pole position, BFG Sport Comp 2, and Kumho Ecsta PS91 as tires to consider.

Tires would last about a year & a half -
About 50ish a month for tires in average lol
Very open ended question. Much of it depends on how you drive - acceleration, braking, cornering. Some of us have gotten upwards of 20K or more out of summer tires.
If you generally get the upper metric of a rating then you'll see similar results. If you're a binary driver, expect [much] less.
I replaced the stock re050a with pss at ~18.5K miles. There was easily enough tread to make it to 23-25K but was concerned about issues in the rain. Sold the old tires locally for ~$200.

That’s true - I’m heavy on gas off light & take corners aggressively-
If you run a square setup that should get you a bit more treadlife, especially if they aren't directional tires since you can do a true four wheel rotation. 20k miles is about what I've gotten for most of my summer tires, although my Potenzas on our 07 were completely bald in back at 20k whereas the others still had some life left.
Staggered 8.5 front 245/35/20
10 rear 275/30/30
How much negative camber are all u guys running
Prior to new tires had -1 camber both left & right in rear
After alignment seems like almost zero camber
I can tell tires don’t hang turns as well with lil to no neg camber

Would definitely get your car aligned prior to your new tire purchase or shortly after. I'd shoot for camber in the -1.5 range give or take a couple tenths w/ toe in spec. Since you tend to do higher speed cornering you will benefit from the added camber and within reason you should expect reasonable wear. BTW, what tires are you running now?
Here's the list from tirerack for those staggered sizes in Max performance summers, the Sumitomo HTRZ III is a pretty good price right now, they aren't top of the heap but depending on what tires you're running now may be a significant improvement.

Achilles were 90$ on sale at tire shop
They are cheapos was to good of a deal for 2 new ones
Same nexxens were 187
A lil negative camber felt better for cornering

Sumitomos aren't a big name over here but they are a Japan-sourced product and good quality for the price.
