What is your front vs rear tire wear rate3?

Rear tires are gone in about 15k miles, front seem to have plenty of tread (stock Pzero Rosso's).

Wondering if I should replace the rears with new Rosso's (expensive), or just replace all four with T1R or RE50 to get better treadwear?

It almost seems like my fronts will last through another set of Rosso rears.

i have to agree, especially if your benz is lower, the camper is horrible. i was again buying new rear tires today, and they said there's no camber kit made for these cars. is that correct? i am either thinking of raising the car back to original height, or putting the stock wheels on. 25 seriers tires are starting to get costly once a month if they dont blow out before the worn down. any suggestion?

this is probably the most annoying part of this car, i never had to worry so much about tire condition until now.
