Cool G35 Coupe--How long do tires last?

My 05 coupe has TOYO T1R on stock 19inch rims. I drive casual..My tires are half way gone. I barely drove 12,000 miles on them.

*Is this normal for all G35 driver or is it just me?

Sounds about right.. I have the same tires and the fronts are good, but the rears are TOAST @ ~15k mi. I will say, I have some negative camber dropped on s techs and drive very aggressive.

Fronts can go all the way to 25K+. Rears are usually gone by 15,000. I can't get more than 12,000 out of my rears and I'm on my 3rd set after 30,000 miles. G35s eat tires like candy. Rears go prematurely and fronts are plagued with inside feathering.

My T1Rs in the rear are pretty much bald after 13000 miles of non-spirited driving. Fronts are slightly better but I'm going to get a full set, and I'm not falling for T1Rs again. Soft, noisy, nothing to write home about.

Many tire brands, especially those with large tread blocks, will get quite noisey when the miles pile on.

I have Bridgestone Potenzas and they only lasted about 7K. WTF is up with that?

Get it checked out asap. I put on 22k on my OEM Blowtenzas before I replaced them. Very little spirited driving at all.

Whats your secret?

--What PSI do you run on them?
--How often do you get alignments?
--Any track days?

T1R's are super noisy on 19's as they wear out. Not buying these again.
