After reading the posts on page 2 I figured getting the thread back on track couldn't hurt.
I've had these tires on my car for a year and a half with 35,000 miles.
I just replaced the rears which were right at the point of going bald. They still had marginally decent tread at 30K, but then wore quickly. While there was some road noise it was never bad until about 33K From the looks of the fronts I think I can get anther 10K - 15K out of them. Overall pretty happy with them, I put them on the rears again.
I just can't figure out why the rear tires wore more quickly than the fronts
