All depends how you drive. Why are you concerned about tire life on a Camaro?

Avoid the USELESS tire burnouts and you should ok for about 20K on the factory tires.

Because mine are just about gone and I am at 14K. The tire shop said I will probably get 2 to 1 rear vs front. Plus, just curious how others are stacking up.

I have only done like 2 burnouts, and they were not really that heavy. I do enjoy slinging it around corners though. I know, you gotta pay to play.

Apparently you need to improve your burnout procedure. If done properly, you can destroy a new tire in a single burnout, so keep practicing and eventually you should be able to get the tire life down to less than one mile. lol

Well I replaced the rears only to the tune of $650. And SOB I just realized I completely wasted new tire day. I had been looking forward to destroying what was left of the old ones, and with so much BS going on I completly forgot. Oh and the tire shop eff'd up the rims pretty nicley to boot. I am making a trip back there tomorrow.
