-- So what would the oem tire recommended pressure front and back? 99' 986 --
I believe it's 29 front 36 rear. Many here vary these up or down a pound or two

-- ... I've gotten no more than 8000 miles from a set of rears... --
That is pretty bad at first thought but what kind of driving and what tires.
I replaced summer rears (wore as expected with neg. camber, insides most) after 25k miles of my miles. They came with the car from PO. I may have taken 5k to far only in the sense of wet road driving.
I'm 32k on the fronts, will replace this spring, and again probably 5k to far, again only wet roads

Both fronts and rears wear the insides the most (neg camber)
As stated above, if you took out the neg camber and went with harder tires, you could get longer life. BUT you would sacrifice handling - Whats the point
