What is your inside tire wear looking far as mileage?

I previously had BC coilovers (extra low capable model) with Swift springs. This setup was great for me

Ride was great, I stuck with the typical 12k/8k setup (for ls460) on the Swifts. I had the struts setup about 5 or 6 clicks above full soft. Had the adjmt extenders for the rears coming thru just under those pivoting access covers.
I've never ridden in BC's with the regular springs, so I have no comparison to those.

Sorry Tee I really didn't pay attention to how many miles. I do know one thing, is that the front tires wear out a lot faster then the rears. I had Ls430 and I lowered it pretty low and the rears wear out quicker then the fronts. I thought that the rears would always wear out faster.

I just saw your ig, I was the one that bought your BCs, lol. I bought the ultra low cartridges and was going to put the swifts on there, still debating

No worries thanks for the feedback.

My old ones were the ultra low already. The problem according to some was with the regular ones the rears wouldn't lower enough to their liking
