I hate to say this, but 5K miles for a set of rear tires isn't highly unusual. I say this because I never got more than 5,000 miles from a set of rear tires.

Tips for longer tire life: Accelerate slowly. Select a high UTGQ tire. Accelerate slowly. Have the alignment checked. And drive slowly.

If you're desperate enough to drive slowly, you could save even more money by selling the Porsche and getting a Corolla.

Sorry, mentioning driving slow several times was a poor attempt at sarcasm.

As for me personally, I can't seem to get more than 500 miles from a set of tires. Slowing down is definitely not an option.
