My rear tyres (275/35/19) are down to the wear indicators so need to buy some more.
I fitted a set of 4 Toyo T1 Sport at 30k, now done 43k so just 13k - is that reasonable? Front are still very good, lots of life left.

Road noise is stupidly high with these or the Potenzas R050s I had (and still have a part worn set on wheels).
The Potenzas are different markings (and construction) for different cars eg Aston, Audi, Nissan so is it a no no to fit the tyre made for another car. I know folks will say stick to the recommended one but sometimes 'deals' are tempting. On the 350Z I fitted Audi Potenzas R050s and they had wider rain grooves but were fine.
Also out of interest the R050 has a shallower depth groove on the outside when new. I reckon this is for dry high speed roadholding - however my delear tried to tell me they were worn unevenly. I've seen comments on 350Z sites about uneven tyre wear with these too - I reckon people change them prematurely.
