How long are your rear tires lasting?
I have a 2009 with a sports package, and was wondering how many miles you get on these before you replace them. I know it depends on how you drive but just getting a general idea. Can you expect 15k?

I didn't know our car has a 2009 model? lol
Well if you have a 370z, then you can't really base on my analysis.
My front tire lasted me almost 2 years with 30K miles ish. They are still on and runs great. Keep in mind that I drive 1/3 of those 30K miles on mountains at spirited driving conditions.
The rears only lasted me about 7 months on stock, and after I swap on the T1R, it lasted about 15K plus and still got about 50-60% left I think.
I even have stock break pads at about 2-3mm left.
My driving style is very material saving since I don't drive to the limit and I don't use my break much. So I don't know how good of an reference this is to you. But the most important fact that will alter your tire life is indeed the way you drive. So here is just a quick reference and my 2 cents, hope it helps.

I only got about 14-15K outta the stock bridgestones on the rear. There was cord showing on the inner edge at that point on one of them. My fronts are now still pretty decent at 23K, I think i'll get 30K out of them. I drive really hard too.

I have kumho summer tires and i've put about 15k on them with about 4.5mm of thread left. I drive pretty moderately, nothing to taxing tough. 
Sometimes there the occasional fast take off but nothing tire burning or anything.

Michelin Pilot sport All Season's
Front seem to wear much better...
With spirited every day driving, the rears have 13,000.. and might make it to 15,000

I have an '06, about to hit 39k miles. Still have original tires. But both front and rear original bridgestones only have about 20k or so since I've had other wheels on before.
But the rear tread is at about 60% or so. I'm gonna swap front and rear tires at the end of the summer for some new rubber.
