OP, life of your tires will depend on the amount of drop you have adjusted your suspension (assuming you still have megans, according to your sig). iirc, if your heel/toe and camber are well w/in oem spec, one would expect quite a bit of life from your tires (staggered too).

to answer your question, iirc, mine's about 2 years...hehehe...height is either 2 fingers or flush/tucked

my car wasnt driven much

Why are your tires lasting only 1500 miles? I have been readjusting my coilovers a lot so my alignment is all screwed up, yet my rear tires have lasted about 8K miles and I need to replace them now. If I had a proper alignment again (Will get it once I finalize my set up and get new tires) I'm positive my rear tires will last at least 30K+ miles again. Even my NSX that had a very aggressive stock alignment the rear tires would last at least 10K miles.

LOL 1500 miles? wow! go summer tires and add RCA blocks. That's expensive. Also, a vendor have adjustable one's too. You need all RCA+ adustable control arms.

Idk how low you guys are but I'm tucking in the back and I got about 15k out of my last tires, looks like I will get about the same or more out of my current rears. I was slippin on the fronts and let them get some considerable camber wear before flipping so hopefully ZI didn't screw myself this time around but they should last about 15k as well.
