Killed another set of tires
Checked the Pass Rear today and down to the cord on the inside edge
Oh well, got almost exactly 2 years out of them.
Hankook V12's - ordering another set now

damn i've been on the same tires (re92) for the last 15k and they look ok, but then again i don't drive very aggressive or do autox.
make sure your alignment is within specs, bad alignment is the fastest way to kill tires.

The alignment is VERY aggressive (2.5 deg neg camber up front, ~1.3 in back) and that's how I like it
I really don't know how many miles I've gone... could probably figure it out but don't really care.
A set of tires every 2 years is acceptable to me.

That's not as aggressive as I was thinking. What about toe?

The dynamic toe could be doing it. I doubt it would take many autocrosses to scrub off a set of tires with dynamic toe changes and 2+ degrees negative camber
