People with lowered cars. How long do the tires last bc I know once you lower your car you camber. So do y'all go through tires pretty often?

a lot of times it depends on your alignment. if toe is adjusted correctly, wear can be minized.

my gs350 was lowered a lot, but i got over 30k miles on my tires with flipping in between

6 months ago I installed a set of Tanaba NF210's and a brand new set of 255/30-22 and 295/25-22 Pirelli P Zero Neros. I even installed the OE Lexus brackets (forgot the exact name of them) to "help" improve the alignment. I even had the car realigned 2 months after the original alignment. Fast forward to now, front tires are bald on the inside shoulder with 10k miles on them.
Hence the reason that I am about to purchase a set of coil overs so I am not forced to get such an aggressive drop as the Tanabe's give. I sure wish Eibach or some other spring company would come out with a coil spring set up that wasnt as aggressive in the front as Tanabe and Megan Racing. I love the lowered height of the rear but that doesnt even match up with the front since the front is so much lower. All in all, I am not happy with them.
