Reduce your top speeds.
High speeds generate more heat and accelerate tire wear. Goodyear data shows that increasing highway speeds from 55 mph to 75 mph can reduce total tread mileage by 20% or more. So a tire that would have provided 250,000 miles in tread life at 55 mph will only net 200,000 miles per tread if driven at 75 mph. The drop is quite consistent as speed increases. That 250,000-mile tread drops to 237,500 miles at 60 mph; 225,000 miles at 65 mph; and 212,500 miles at 70 mph.

People with sports car shouldn't be worried about fuel consumption or lowering their speed in order to save on anything. Except safety......well most of the time.
