Btw, my stock tires wore as it should for 10k miles, with the inside wearing out faster than outside due to negative camber.
I gave up on tire warranties years ago. They always find a reason not to give you anything. At 7250 miles I had used up the stock tires outer edge. With my new tires I added two degrees of camber to help wear out the centers more. At 12,800 miles the centers are fine and the outer edge is nearly worn out.

It is a matter of perspective. If I ever got 10,000 miles out of a set of front tires, well I don't know what I'd do. 7250 miles was the best I've ever done on any Z over the past 30 years and this is probably because I had two engine break ins.
