One last thing, do you see the similar wearing pattern on your tires? Meaning the outside wears more than the inside? I have not tracked my car yet, so no aggressive turning from my part at this point.

I took my Z to a large empty parking lot early Saturday morning and got a lot of use out of the parking brake before getting the tires replaced that day

I typically wear out the rear tires every 6 months, and the fronts every 12 months. But I often still have 7/32 tread on the front when the rears go. At 4/32, I would recommend that you have the fronts replaced at the same time and always with matching tires.

I do plenty of aggressive driving and casual driving. My tire wear is very even because I have a five year alignment agreement from NTB (for the cost of about 2.5 individual alignments). I get my car aligned about every quarter, although I'm behind this year. Thanks for reminding me
