I got 23k. Had BAD FEATHERING from factory....thank you nissan for that $1500 mistake on your part. I had .2 toe out front and rear. outside rears were shot and fronts were going as well. get some front adjustable upper arms and very little toe and they should last you almost 30k depending on how you drive. I went with the RE760 which has a 340 compound compared to the RE050 with a 180ish? I want a little more mileage and am willing to sacrifice a little of the gripping.

That is EXACTLY the wear pattern on mine at 17K. Factory spec is highly suspect.

You guys realize your suppose to do an alignment every 9 months to a year right? I'm on RE760's at the moment to and they do decent. 2 autocross events and 5k on ek and they've only worn down 2/32. Just to be more competitive, I will be swapping to re-11s upcoming season in July.
