My first set of tires (Original Bridgestones on my '90) only lasted about
25,000 miles, mainly because I did not rotate them in time.  The front tires
had quite a bit of tread while my rears were no longer legal.  I rotated them
after the fist 1000 miles and during the next 15,000 I drove the car hard and
the rear tires REALLY wore a lot faster than the front.

Anyone else experience this or am I sliding around corners too much ;-)

In contrast,  my new Dunlop D60 A2's have lasted 25,000 and have about 1/3
their tread left.  (I have been rotating every 7000 on these and everything
is wearing evenly.)
