We cant answer that question for you... how long your tires last is dependant on to many factors, such as Tread wear rating, tire pressure, your Driving style, Road conditions, Camber settings, Toe settings.... ect ect ect.....
All that asside though and the tread wear of you're tires should give you some Idea as to how long they will last.
Example.. I have 2 sets of wheels and tires. 1 for when I autocross and the other for normal street driving.
Autocross tires are Falken Azenis Sports with a Tread wear rating of 200, My street tires are Falken 512's with a tread wear of 360.
the Azenis should last about 10,000 miles (Not very many). The 512's should last about 30,000 miles....
Not having a camber kit may wear the tires a bit faster, at least on one edge.... having excessive toe (Either in or out) will wear out tires quicker then haveing a lot of Camber though.

definitly get an alignment and a camber kit... it'll save you in the long run... I kept putting it off, and ended up ruining my tires way before I needed new ones, so don't say I didn't warn you.
Now I got an alignment, new tires, and front/rear camber kits, and I couldn't be happier...
