rears for me

3,800 miles and I've already replaced the rears...same story with my 2003 GT.

I run staggered sizes. So the fronts get replaced every 2-3 yrs, while the rears make it maybe 1 yr typically

Sounds like for whatever camber you've got, either the toe is wrong, you aren't cornering hard enough often enough, or you need to find another front tire inflation pressure. Maybe some of of each.

Rear tire wear - and handling and ride comfort - seems to benefit from having them inflated slightly less than the fronts
(by about 3 - 5 psi). But let them get too low (or run them too high) and you can trash a set of rear tires pretty quickly.
