rear tire wear out incredibly fast

So it seems new tires falken 452 only lasted me about 2500km of driving.

They wear out perfectly even. Im not doing crazy burnouts, and im not to hard on my car.
Can this be fixed with dtss elimin bushings? Or is it a suspension issue? Im not entirely sure what it may be, but before i throw another set of shoes on id like the problem fixed. Any ideas other then what is mentioned. I do have a diff mount that looks like it could use replacing too, but its not that bad, i mean i just dont see how new tires xan go bald so damn fast.
Any help is apreciated, and thanks in advance

2500km (1500 miles) or 25000km (15500 miles)? First do you need to use a Z-rated tire? I only get about 20-25k miles out of mine on my Vette, that's is generally acceptableness for a Z-rate tire.

Are you rotating the tires every 5k miles? Also while you may not be doing burn outs, fast starts will wear out the rears fast as well since the rubber is biting into the pavement hard during a fast start.

It sounds like your rear alignment is horribly off

If the wear is even just take them back, that its a legitimate warranty claim. ...unless these are used tires. Either way, 1500 miles is ridiculous even w/ a bad alignment.

Are you sure you're the only one that drives this car? You may have a secret drifter in the family, or a very sneaky tire thief in the neighborhood.

I manage about 15,000 miles on the rear (camber wear!) and 20,000 miles on the front with those same tires. I don't rotate since the tires are not the same size.

Same im runnung staggared ms01s.

I just dont see how they can wear so perfectly bald, bo camber wear, im talking evenly bald. Thats why im think serious suspension problem.

I suppose it cant help im runni g bnr stage three twin powered by a cosmo re, but seriously... ive been so gentle on it, no spinning, no drifting, no crazy hard accel. It just seems like my car always wants new tires on the *** end.

Yeah, 1500 miles is a serious problem and I would check the suspension out. I don't think an alignment issue since the wear is even, but really bad shocks/springs would cause the tires to bounce off the payment causing tire wear.

Baaahahah! Brent you change your tires more often than your oil don't you?

"New tires, Change oil, fill gas, fill gas, new tires, fill gas, fill gas, new tires, change oil" - does that sound right?

(I think it's time we rebuild your rear subframe)
