I went for about 30k on an entire stock setup, with normal driving. I may have gotten another 2-3k out of them.

But it's crazy hot in AZ in the summer.. and I didn't want to risk blowing out a tire on the highway.

Should be bad alignment. Is your car dropped?

it would be helpful to know which set of original tires were which...

weren't some turanza r33 (like mine) and some potenza re050? they have significantly different wear ratings.

I took them off with less then 500 miles. I got rid of those SILLY summer tires that render your car useless when it snows (Lightest dusting). All-seasons last twice as long and are less expensive!
