Yes I do My fronts wear faster

The non-drive wheels wear faster ? Do you do a lot of spirited driving ?

I have never had my fronts wear faster than my rears. I go through two sets of rears in the time i go through the fronts. do you have a lot of toe in the front causing them to wear so fast?

I don't do burnouts and stupid shit no. Spirited driving yes thats what the car is built for.
Reposting this to help explain. Look at the weight transfer to the right front in this picture.

I understand, I don't do either as well, but my rears always have worn must faster than my front. They will experience more wear from the transfer of power than from the transfer of weight. Every time you go from a stop its providing power and every time you shift gears. Yes you provide weight to the fronts in turns, but you aren't constantly turning more than driving straight. Showing one picture only shows one instance, it does not apply to 90% of your driving, so it doesn't help explain much, unless ur a nascar driver
I'm willing to bet not many if any other S2K owners replace their fronts more often than their rears.Do you only use your S2K on the track? for daily driving I don't see how that's possible. I have been dailying my S year round since I got it in 2005.
