Wow you must be keeping your foot well in to wear tyres out at 4500 miles! I have done 3000 miles including 2 trackdays and there is still about 6mm all round!
Even with the odd track use I would hope for 8-10K from a set of tyres on a car that weighs less than 1300kgs and has average torque.
I will look out for you drifting on the A465 roundabout on the way to work.

I had Bridgestones SO2s on my old Chimaera and did my first set of rears in 1,100 miles ...
Needless to say I was a lot more circumspect thereafter, and managed to get 8k from each set.
The S's lower torque makes breaking traction at lower speeds more difficult so it's inevitably easier on tyres.
4.5k is a good effort though ...

Overly aggressive driving? Wearing out tyres quickly doesn't necessarily mean you're really fast.
4-5k seems excessive but I suppose it depends on how it's used.
