I have rotated them, though only once, they have the same wear pattern on all corners.
I did put 215/45s on 17x8 RPF1s, so i wonder if this is a bit too much tire on that wheel (it is still in Michelin's specs). Will going to 225s help even out the wear? Reason i stuck with that size is i wanted a bit better steering response than outright grip-the MPSS at this size have plenty of grip for me.
I drive mostly highway but if i get on a windy road and i have no cars in front of me i do drive hard, but nothing crazy like drifting or anything. Never tracked or even autocrossed.
Someone told me the MPSS have a much softer compound on the outer edges too, which would make sense too.

MPSS is kind of a soft compound so there isn't that much you can do, I had 225 at all 4 corners & by the end of their life there is pretty much nothing left on the shoulder @28k mile
You can extend their life a bit but not much i think & cali road doesn't help. lol
I think it's a trade off of them being comfy while sporty....
*Well i heard MP4 & MP4S is better with wear...so there is that, you can't buy MPSS anymore since half year ago. Keep on driving.
