I got just over 27k miles out of the rears (falken azenis ST 115's) and they still have some tread left but the inner 1" edge of the tire is really worn. I am getting HTZR II's to replace them and get another alignment. I would be mad if I could only get 5-6k miles out of a pair of tires...maybe I am not driving it hard enough

The car rides so much smoother now. You just don't realize how far gone the old tires are until you have new rubber.
