Worn Rear Tires

14 k is pretty normal on these cars. If you want less wear ask for the toe to be set at minimum tolerance. Don’t got out of tolerance or the car will be undriveable. If you want even wear across the tire you can also have them swapped on the rims at ~7k.

Miles seems about right but wear should be more even across the tire. Check alignment.

Just bought a set of GT2 turbo twist wheels/tires combos. First Autocrossing in a few weeks. Now that I that checked, these old set might not pass tech inspection. The plan was to beat up these old tires. Might have to upgrade the wheel liner and bracket for Auctocrossing.

Do you have solid LCA bushings in? I found after putting in a set and better rear toe links that tire wear on the rear is almost even across the tires.

What he said. What are your suspension mods and ride height? Alignment settings? It looks like excessive toe wear to me. Depending on your mods, look into LCA bushings, adjustable toe links and locking plates as well as a proper alignment. If you need help, feel free to message me.

aside for those being lousy tires? i'd say you probably have toe/alignment issues. common.
but then. i get 5k out of rears now for 20 sets, give or take. if you get 14K i wouldn't complain

14k sounds awesome for mileage.
If you're going to track the car, consider some GT3 or solid LCA's.
Just an alignment from a shop familiar with track setup/more neg camber could really improve handling depending on where it's currently set.
