It depends upon the circumstances under which you drive the car and your driving style.

Driving in traffic with lots of starts and stops can wear the front tires more than the rears. If you tend to hit turns hard without accelerating out of the turn, you wear your fronts more (understeer "wear"). If you accelerate hard (from a stop, while turning, or out of the turn) you wear the rears. Neutral (i.e., normal) driving wears the rears faster on a RWD car (as is the Z).

Most often on a RWD car (e.g., the Z), you can expect your rears to wear more quickly than the fronts.

Dang, I was hoping I could contribute with "my Nitto's have hit 30k miles now....other tires will wear down faster". But alas, I go unfulfilled.
