    There is no way to answer this question. There are soooo many different variables that effect tire wear, is not even funny. Brand, tread wear, style of driving, road conditions, what kind of roads... the list goes on and on.

        Are we talking tires on the stock rims or aftermarket rims? Around how much did you pay for them? Later

            like custom said theres so many reasons. treadwear is a factor on the tires that you bought.

              I've been running my tires on a 2 inch drop for about a year and a half without a camber kit or an alignment. I have 16x7's (205/50r16). The fronts have worn so bad on the inside edge the belt is showing, the rears only have slight inside wear. I just got a camber kit and I'm about to get new wheels/tires, then the alignment to fix the toe-in. It's a shame, the rest of the tire looks great but the inside edge has been eaten away badly.

              Also note these tires were about $55 a piece, kumho esctas, and I believe they are low mileage tires, like 30k.

              on the stairs, she grabs my arm, says whats up,
              where you been, is something wrong?
              i try to just smile, and say everything’s fine.

                  Of course, keep in mind, I don't commute very far. So I don't put a lot of miles on the tires, I like to corner, but I don't do a lot of heavy braking, and I don't burn out, since I pretty much can't! hehe
