I'm amazed when I hear Boxster owners claim some of the high mileage they get on tires but after reading the posts here I'm wondering if the 986 models don't share a common alignment or suspension characteristic that causes rear tire wear as the most I've ever gotten on a set of rear tires is 15K miles on the original set of Pirellis that came on it. I went through a set of Bridgestones in 2K miles and both Sumis and Kooks get 10-12K before they are down to the wear bars. I used to track and AX so I thought that was the reason but the rate of wear doesn't seem to change with tamer driving. The alignment, on my Boxster, is not out so that doesn't seem to be the issue. Any thoughts?
