My WRX wore both the fronts and back through a set of tires down to the belts (!!!). The guy at the alignment shop said they have poor specs from the factory.

What size tire is it? If you went with a larger tire, it could be throwing your alignment off.

Its very possible the wrx wore the tires on the inside but not as bad as you see, then you finished them off. Either way I know it sucks. My WRX ate my S-Drives in 5k miles (no warranty). Now I'm keeping a close watch on the inside tread of my new tires.

Btw, I bought a set of used wheels with tires - the tires were worn evenly but still had ok tread left. While cornering at low speed my traction control light would come on. Those things were slick! Thought I could drive them for a year but had to pony up for new tires.
