The dealership i bought it from had new tires on it, bridgestone potenza - the s0603 nissan oem. have been told by several master techs/ nissan techs that its common on a 370z for new rears every 6-8k, but i see you guys getting 20k! any thoughts on this anyone? kind of at a loss.Will be replacing shortly but any kind of feedback would be much appreciated

You could just be driving on the world's worst roads, that we don't know. What you can do is get a tread measuring tool for cheap (often 99 cents in auto parts stores) and measure yourself across the tire. If the inside is very worn then likely you have some camber wear (and the rear camber on these cars is IMO way too high stock). However, if you're measuring around 3 or up all around you're likely okay. I replace all my tires when tread gets to around 3 for summers, 4 for all seasons, and 5 for my winters, but that's a flavor of my own and some people will keep going.
EDIT: I saw you're in Columbia. Hey Neighbor! Yeah, I wouldn't be running the stock summer tires during winter in Columbia. One rainy day below 40 degrees and you might end up in a ditch. Let alone any snow, sleet (had to pick up people last year stranded in Columbia because of that one bad sleety day), or ice. I'd get a second set of winter tires...
