I have about 15,000 miles with my eibachs. The tires do look like they're wearing out faster than normal, but its even wear all around. I'd say they're at 40% left. I did get an alignment from the dealer, which may have helped the even wearing. Curious as to what others say.

I've had my Eibach's for only a couple months so only have a few 1000 miles on them, so far though no uneven wear. Nice thing is I took it to Nissan to get an alignment a week after having them installed and the tech came back saying everything was fine and camber looked good. Curious why so many others have needed an alignment, mine seems to be fine. No uneven wear or odd vibrations in the steering wheel.

that's awesome guys! so it looks like the eibach drop doesn't affect the alignment as much as some other cars.

I work for a Nissan dealer and am on my second 7th Gen Max. If you are on factory Eagle RSA tires then expect them to be trash by 20,000 miles if you drive your car like a Max should be driven. This is very common with returning customers and a common complaint.

I just traded in my '10 SV (18" wheels) with 17,850 miles and the tires were 4/32 on both fronts and 3/32 on both rears. That's the limit for replacement. I rotated them every 5,000 miles. The Goodyear tires eat themselves alive and I will NEVER purchase them after they are done on my current '11 Max Sport Package.

However, I have been told I drive my car VERY hard through the turns. But hey, isn't that why it's called the four door sports car? LOL.

I have had my Eibachs on my new ride for about 500 miles. And the alignment turned out almost just right. Camber was off by 1 point in the rear which is right within spec. I think the Eibachs have nothing to do with the tires if you are riding on factory rubber. Either that or your car has not been aligned properly.

Hope this helps.

My dunlop tires went out after little over 20,000 miles after rotating every 5,000 miles and alignment was about -1 in the fronts and -1.4 in the rear still . I was pretty pissed just got continental dws however since they have a 50k mile tread warranty happy with them so far.
