I do an ocasional peel out.. tire chirps when shifting into 2nd...
besides that. best to have all the rubber on the pavement at all times so i practice good launches...

I don't know what the difference is, maybe the heat here in Florida is harder on the tires - - my rears are shot (245/45-18) and I don't do burnouts but I launch hard sometimes. I have 11,500 miles on my Z - fronts look as good as new ? ?

Hummm - I started wondering if maybe when the dealer performed the TSB for front tire wear and re-aligned the car (4 wheel alignment) if somehow they over compensated for the front being out of spec and screwed up my rear alignment (toe) -
maybe that's why my rear tires are shot when everybody else seems to have consistant wear, front to rear - - anybody have an thoughts or insight on this possibility??

I have 12000 and my rear tires are finished! They are slicks now !! fronts are about 3/4 of their way through their lifespan. Not many peel outs, but I love getting sideways when its safe enough too. I also take windy roads really fast, so I am not surprised.
I am replacing just the rears. The fronts will have to last until I get my new wheels!
