Worn out quick all from your own mistakes, not the tire. Have you ever checked the alignment/got an alignment? That's what happen to my tires when I lower the vehicle and do not do the alignment, tore it up FAST. Was a very bad choice made. If you care about road noise, get ready to hate BFG KDW2's. Many people say they don't really care but it is seriously noticeable to me.

Once you get that camber/tow problem fixed look into a set of Vredestein Sessanta
I bought the beginning of this year and I love them, they stick to the road like nothing I've ever had, which makes it even harder to spin the tires as well! Very predictable in corners as well.

I can has tracshun?
YAYYY I got new tires today!!! 
I just got back from America's Tire Co. I was going to order the BFG KWD NT's which they'd have to order and get in on Friday. They would have been $956 OTD. But they had some Dunlop Direzza DZ101's in stock. I told the guy that I really wanted to get the BFG's and he knocked a few bucks off the Dunlops, so that came out to $800 OTD so I got those. I would have rather gotten the BFG's but whatever, maybe next time
. Oh ya I got 245/45/18 and 225/45/18. I haven't really had a chance to test the tires much since I just got home but on my way home I took a pretty hard turn and they gripped really well. If I would have taken that turn with my old tires, I would have been posting pictures of my wrecked Z instead of tires 
. Oh ya and I'm getting my alignment tomorrow morning
here are some before and after pics...

Ok I got an alignment this morning and found out the last people that did my alignment didn't do a very good job. My toe was off by half an inch he said. So the front of the rear tires were facing inwards half an inch, which is the reason the inside of my tire was worn out more than the outside...it had nothing to do with my camber (which was negative by the way, not positive ) I'm just happy that now were back to normal so these new tires should last me a lot longer than 7,000 miles
