I drove very gently for my 12000 miles before I had to get a new rear pair of SO2's.
Notice how hard it is to roll the S2000 by hand, particularly when it's turning. It occurs to me that the limited slip differential might be the cause of the faster rear tire wear. It causes the rear axle to act more like a solid one and tries to keep the wheels from turning independently while cornering. This increases tire wear, and may be the reason they wear out so fast.
