How long did your tires last?
I have Michelin Pilot on 21 inch rims. Mine lasted 16k miles. I drive mainly in comfort mode with a little sport. When I asked the dealership they said that average is 10k miles????

Yep, 4000+ lbs car eats tires and brakes for that matter. With 16k miles you are driving like a grandma 
. 10k-12k is more typical on pretty much any performance car like this. Aggressive camber setup is part of it. On my C63S coupe, I get about 8k out of the front tires, and the last rear tires lasted me around 12k miles I think. It's the first set I ran out fully, and part of the belts were showing when I changed them. RWD certainly doesn't improve tire wear. My previous AWD performance car did not much better, though. FWIW, Michelin's tread wear warranty is only 15k miles for their summer performance tires with a staggered setup that prevents rotating the tires. On a square setup with proper tire rotation it's 30k miles. I never got anywhere close to 30k, though, even with rotating the tires.
