I got brand new hankook v12 for my g35 lowered on bc coilovers with ichiba rear camber kit and sadly, lasted only ~9000 miles. Flip once after 6000k miles. I didn't install the toe bolt that was included so maybe that is the problem? This can't be normal though! Here are my alignment specs:

Got only one alignment when i first installed the tires.

Front: Camber L(-2.3), R(-2.7)
Toe L(.05), R(.02)

Rear: Camber L(-2.8), R(-2.7)
Toe L(.13), R(.14)

The toe is in the Min. Max. specification range. Would you advise me to install them? or is it normal to go through tires if you are running ~-2.8 camber. Thank You in advance!

 

I got 25K miles out of my V12s with around -2* camber on the fronts so I don't know what caused your wear issues. My rears will get over 30K unless I burn them up, I just replaced my fronts with Nitto Invos and want to do the same in the back. I have been having traction issues here this summer with the Hankooks.

 

Did you cross rotate them? Or did you let them wear down too much on one side?

 

I swapped them side to side every 6000 miles, then forgot to for about 10K. I was starting to show cord on the passenger front tire and the driver tire was toast, hence the Invos. I like the Invos a lot more than the V12s; quieter ride, lots more grip, and they look cooler as a bonus.

 

I have at least 15K on mine, running no more then -2 camber. The fronts are still in good shape and the rears have some wear but thats not the tires fault.

 

My question was for the OP lol I heard the Invos are good tires as well.

 

I flip the rears at 6k(coupe). My fronts are still good it is just my rear that are ridiculous! Blue dream.. you're getting 30k!! holy cow. But you have a sedan so you're able to cross rotate and save some life out of them.

 

if you want your tires to last long why dont you get a higher UTQG ratings? higher the number, longer your tires will last.

 

^^^This...do you also drive hard as well? I have had my rear Hankook V12's for 20k GrantedI am only running -1.1 camber all the way around and I do no drive to aggressive as well. I also have hankook V12's in the front as well and I am gonna get a lot of miles out of them as well.

 

I like the tires and do not want to compensate wear for traction. I am not asking if I should get new tires, my question is to see how to make the brand of tires i have last longer.

 

Get front control arms and rear camber arms. I have SPC in the rear and front. You are not running the greatest amount of camber but you are running just a bit IMO to wear the insides to were you will not have even wear. I am running -1.1 camber all the way around and my tires wear damn near even all the way across.

 

I already have the inchiba rear camber kit. I know the SPC has more tweak to them but it was outside my budget at the time.

BTW, I notice youre from fullerton, I went to CSUF before.

 

Get your rear toe as close to 0 as you can. Toe kills ties.

 

^ 0 would be wrong you want toe to me middle of the accepted range.

 

PMd ya with a solution to your problem.

Let me know
