Default 20" tires how long do they last

Just wondering what brand of tires you guys use and how long do they last. I just went through some falcons that lasted me only 5k miles and I guess my camber is pretty bad in the front and wore out the inside pretty bad. Any suggestions for longer tread wear as well.

The wear of tires will vary depending on brand, compound, suspension geometry and driving habits.

Depends usually on your personal style of driving as well as tire compounds and etc

Dannngg if you need new tires every 5k, i dont think it matters what tire u use man. Get some RCA to lower that camber down.

If you're only getting 5k, its not camber doing it, its toe! both the tires on my 22's and my 20's have lasted for years and PLENTY of miles. 22's lasted me for a good 30,000 miles (and still going) and thats with camber. 20's probably about the same. Camber is still running on tread so you'll still get close to what the factory claims in miles, but if you have toe, thats grinding your tires into the pavement. Its like taking a cheese grater to them while you drive.
