Thanks everybody,
I think after reading all the posts I'm going to go with the Falken 912s or the Sumitomo HTRZIII. Hopefully I'll get more than 10K from the rears this time. Some one mentioned that the centers of their rears wear out. I had this problem with mine also when I started to notice this, I started playing with the air pressure. My rears are 265/35/18s. I thought center wear=to high pressure, outside wear=to little pressure. As it turns out, now i'm told thats wrong, the construction on these tires is such that too little pressure=center wear. makes no sense to me but porsche reccomends 36psi for that size on the rear for the Caymen.
