That seems really fast. I did note that a lot of the folks at the autocross that had the ZII had them on dedicated wheels and swapped them out after the event.

Possibly the toe setting for your rear wheels? I have been researching further into this, and that seems to be a big culprit for premature rear tire wear. Second to LFS*
