Well the Dunlops on our Journey had 16k miles on them and two if the tires were pretty bad. But .... who knows if the original owner ever rotated them, etc. I kept two of the Dunlops as emergency spares. We now go Blizzaks in the winter and the Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions for summer.
Now, before someone points out you go with Winter tires in winter and All Season in the summer, why not go summer tires in the summer. My wife drives the car Mon - Fri as a commuter abut 40 miles one way. She doesn't drive aggressively so I went with all season because of wet roads, wet leaves, chance of snow (before switching to the blizzaks), etc.
sounds like you are dropped and running negative camber outside spec range. normal for OEM, not at all. normal for a drop, it depends.

I think I can squeeze another 3-4K out of them though, but I'll probably have new tires before then.
Yeah im not droped thats why I thought it was a bit wierd. Maybe I hit a bump or something that fuked up my wheel alignment.

you would have to hit a pretty big bump to jack an allignment up (like a pothole at 40 mph)
just make sure after a drop to get an alignment, and if/when you do just ask them to get it as close to spec as possible. also, toe effects tire wear even more than camber
28k on my Sport. Just realized this weekend how badly worn the front tire are so I am researching the replacement tires. I will probably drive my beater until I get them.
27 k one tire in the rear looks very good the other is almost done and the fronts are both almost done??? how can the fronts wear faster than the rears ??????camber-toe????
Got you all beat, I have nearly 50K on my original stock POTENZA shoes and still going strong. I will change them this weekend though any suggestions on which tires? I have G37S '08 19' rims obviously. Thinking about going with something other than stock.

Either that's the biggest bold face lie or you drive slower than a snail. I really do not see how you can get 50K miles on hte stock Potenza's.
