Was in for a nice surprise when I looked under the car today. I'm on the Eagle F1s and the sport suspension. I have about 6200 miles on the car.

Yeah I have the same setup and have tons of meat left on the tires. Did you get any type of alignment on it? If stock, and not pushing the car super hard you may want to get your alignment checked out as this isn’t normal

Nope.. still on stock alignment. I do push the car pretty hard.
 
Mines have seen roughly 8.000 miles And the rears are nearly done.

I had once the same issue with my Speedster, I think it‘s a combination of a lot of camber at the rear and spinning the wheels at low speeds.

I run on Goodyear F1. After one track day and 12.000 km, they look pretty new to me (pic taken after a rainy day). Expecting to get 25.000 km easily, unless I start race tracking it more.

Was that on a different car? I didn't recognise the wheel or tyre.
Yes, different car. That is from a Vauxhall VX220 Turbo, in german an Opel Speedster. I also have a Torsen lsd installed and lots of torque which killed the tyre in the end.

The thing is though that you are not aware of this kind of wear of the tyre because the car is so low and you do not notice this until it might be too late. That´s the challenging part.
