The 615's are great tires but they will wear faster then the 046's. Great all-around tire and can't beat the price.

I just did the 3rd tire rotation on my IX at 15K miles and the inner fronts look exactly the same as the ones first posted. I don't do any track and just daily drive. Based in teh fact the rears are good and the rest of the front looks good I think the camber is too much from the factory if you are going to daily drive.

thats how thw advans wear on Evos due to factory camber settings, especially if you do alot of highway driving. They heat up and wear down faster. Mine went out at 11K. I though it was possible alignment and the shop checked. NOPE. soft tires just wear that way on the Evo. I put Toyo T1-R for harder rubber and onger tread life. The harder rubber gives an even wear pattern.

I've got 17,686 miles and still on the stock Advans. I had the same wear characteristics so had the tires re-mounted so that the worn inner side is now on the outside.
