How fast do you go through your TIRES?
Just had a blowout last night, luckily I wasn't on the freeway and instead on a road that wasn't very populously driven at the time. It was not due to camber wear but instead due to a nail. However, as I was replacing my tires I realized how badly worn out my inner tread was. So I'm setting this thread up to see how fast people's tires wear out.
Just trying to see if certain tires stretch better and react better to being stretched. Also if anybody has any advice to help prevent people with camber wear issues than please do reply to this thread.
PLEASE include degrees of camber (if known), wheel specs, tire specs, and brand of tires, and how long your tires lasted.

I'll start. I had Michelin Super Sport 255/35/19 Tires in the rear. They were stretched onto my 19x10.5's and I started seeing near zero traction on the inside tire at 2 months!!
Only have -1.8* camber. I thought that isn't even bad compared to some others....

The IS comes from the factory with a very aggressive front toe setting which results in the inner treads of the tire wearing out really fast. I found this out when I was checking my tires and saw they were bald on the inside and I posted on here and found out about the factory toe. Get that toe straightened out and you'll get a lot more life from your tires!

Most people with bad camber wear flip flop the tires to get a little more life and time out of them! but as always your going for a certain look so you gotta pay to play......

When I first purchased my car, the inside of my front tires were worn out. I got an alignment done and here are the changes.
Toe on Front Left
Before: -0.03
After: 0.02
Toe on Front Right
Before: -0.06
After: 0.01

My boy has a slammed Accord and he goes through tires I think every 6 months or so? If I remember correctly, he has - ~3 degree of camber up front and - ~4 in the rear.
Ive been on 20s for about 6 months now (bought the tires with ~2k miles on them) and have put about ~5k miles on them so far. I keep an eye on my camber wear and its not too bad. -1.5 up front and -2.5 in the rear. I dont drive too much though

Michelin Pilot sport PS2s - the rears last around 20k-25k miles. The fronts last around 35-40k miles.
I drive around 20k miles/year, so I change my rear tires every year or so and my front tires every 2 years or so.
