Hankook ev02 isn't the best performance tire, but there is likely something wrong with the suspension if only the rear tires go bald in a few thousand miles while the same brand front tires held up well.

The e46 M3's are known to eat up rear tires like yours when the rear trailing arm bushings go bad. Once that bushing cracked, it's unable to maintain the rear alignment in certain conditions and shred the rear tires in a few thousand miles.

The rears have been worn out VERY MUCH from last Nov until today of this Spring. After getting my last maintenance at last year November, I have driven my 370Z just around 2k miles very mildly only for daily driving, but now its rear tires have only 3/32nd tread !! - obviously red. (at the last maintenance the rear tires had between 5/32nd~6/32nd: so between green and yellow)

This.

Felix, go personally verify the measurement of tread depth. Make sure there really is a problem before you throw money at new tires. Go get an alignment at a good local shop - not the dealership. See if that's the issue. Then you'll know what parts, if any, need to be replaced before you get new tires and shred them in 5k miles. There's no point in getting new tires until you know what happened to these, unless you want to be here in this same position in six months.

Thanks for your advice. I'll refer to it.
