There is no telling but I can assure you that the rear tires will have to be replaced before the front.

i was told I had a dead on alignment. I got to 18K with each set, all city, diving into most corners and powering out, as much as one can without making noise or asking for a ticket. I hit the wear markers and started losing water traction

I went 24K on the rear OEM Bridgestones. I can't give you a statistic on the fronts since Nissan replaced these tires for me because of the "feathering problem."

My driving style is mostly "normal/moderate," but I frequently cross the line to aggressive.

Seriously wondering what I'm doing wrong. OEM Bridgestones lasted only 11K and second rear set of g-force lasted 16K. No strip trips, no burnouts - just standard, "spirited" driving, proper inflation, even wear . . .

depends on how hard you drive, different brand tires, road condition, car condition.
Before I lowered my Z, stock potenza lasted 18k. I only got 6k to 15k After modifying my Z. Some tires grip so amazing, but lasts only few months. Rear tires need to be replaced more often than front tires, because Z is Rear Drive.
Get ready to spend 200-300 per tire for good ones (with 19" rims).

I don't track, but do drive aggressively and i am still on the original set at 21000. Keep an eye on the tire pressure.
