My only point in anything I said above was just to get an idea of tread life on a staggered RWD setup. This is both my first RWD and staggered configuration. The Continentals do list warranty distance for staggered installs and cut the distance in half.

My long post was to simply explain that a staggered set up does not conform to the standard manufacturer warranty.

And to briefly answer your question, you will experience more wear on your rear tires... by how much, will depend on how spirited of a driver you are and how much you push your car from a stop.

But to suggest that you may be able to beat (receive some credit towards a new set) the Michelin 45,000 warranty for your fronts or the 22,500 warranty for the rears, would -in my opinion- be quite misleading!

You can expect this to be the standard amongst all tire manufacturers....

Even though I drive hard at appropriate times I tend to make brakes and tires last a crazy long time. Although there is something about this car that makes me drive a little more spirited.

FWIW...my Michelin PSS currently has 30k miles on it (but I'll be replacing the rears very soon), and the original pads (fronts) lasted 60k miles before triggering the sensor.
