Anyone else cook them this quickly with just street driving?

I guess I should get my alignment checked before replacing them.

I got tons of miles on mine and the previous owner I think got 30,000+ miles on his fronts anyway, backs maybe 15,000-20,000.

Are your tires wearing evenly and down to the wear bars or just on one side or the other?

Are you on 17's?

I'm at rear replacement time, 22000 miles.
The negative camber in the rear causes them to wear at the insides earlier than outside but evenly.
I do have something going on one side that chewed the inside a bit more than the other side. I suspect there is a rear suspension overhaul for my Boxster in the near future

Last set I took 25k+ miles (A bit to far)

How are they wearing, where are they wearing, one tire to the other? Do they look like they are NOT going straight down the road?

Yes, 17's. Just the rears (the fronts look good), and both rears are wearing the same, but it is more toward the inside.

Thanks for the post, I was looking at these tires on tire rack. They got good reviews. For the price you can't beat them but if they only last 7000 miles I'll have to rethink purchasing these tires.

The OP definitely has something else going on. They should last 2-3 times that long.

I'm on my third set of HTRZ III's. Always get great mileage out of them.

Agreed.
I've got 22k on mine and, while I wouldn't push them real hard into turns on smooth, wet asphalt, the tread's otherwise still good for a few more miles. They've been to the track once during that time also.
