[QUOTE="shiroitenshi, post: 1750736, member: 27518"] oops!! I meant 25,000kms... not 25000K!! ROFL!! typo! sorry!!! Mine wears really well.. at 200Kpa, (checked every week) it wears evenly.. of course, my front camber is only 0.5 degrees negative (just measured when doing alignment two days ago), versus the rears, which are 2 degrees negative (usually). (currenly left side is showing 1.54, which cannot be fixed with spacers, and I'm not going to take a grinder and grind .5mm off the mounts. still pondering what might be the problem.. perhaps bushing worn?) was going to removing the left rear arm assembly today, but didn't manage to complete it. But that's my best guess for now Even so, my rears wear evenly as well.. with no apparent preference to eat the insides. (probably because I don't go fast on the straights, or launch a lot. Actually the shop has ST115's, but according to my friend, from the way I like to take the corners.. it won't have as much grip as the RE-01Rs or the Azenis RT. Anyway, running this kinds of tires usually means keeping two sets rims (eight rimslah!). One for the look factor (nice rims that you install normal tires for driving around), and another for those days you feel like 'pushing' a little harder (long distance midnight/late night driving across states).. still cheaper than buying a second car.. and I run non racing clutches (organic) for better feel when driving in the rain..
