G35 Sedan Tire Wear?

Sorry, I'm sure this has been discussed before. I've searched and have not found my answer for the sedan. I guess I could assume the lack of threads on this subject in the sedan forum is an indicator but I've learned to not assume anything.

Anyway, does the sedan experience the same inside tread wear as the coupe, or to the same extent? I understand this car and the tire type will cause the tires to wear faster but I am coming from a car where I am replacing two tires after only 6k miles because of extreme inside wear. If I can get 15k on average, I'll be fine but if it's common to replace tires every 5-10k miles, I'll have to rethink my choice.

I have 12K on my current tires and I'm lowered with no issues.

The sedan has some negative camber. You will have inside tire wear. If you lower your car it will be worse.

I'm not lowered (yet) and I have had no wear issues in 38K.

When I bought my G last September, the rear tires were very worn down. I did not ask the previous owner but I assume the G had been riding on the original factory tires (which were the Goodyear Eagle RS-A). Ended up replacing them later at 42K miles with a fresh set of Michelin Energy MXV4 (a bit pricier but heard good testimony from them). I've only put in about 1K miles since then, but these tires really stick to the road and are very quiet as well
