Front inside wear - is it normal?
13,000 miles and both front tires are gone on the inside edges, only. Plenty of tread on the rest of the front tires and on the rear. Recreational driving, only, no track (yet). A couple of posts suggest this is normal for this car. Most suggest rear tires should wear out well before the fronts. If this really the way it is supposed to be set up, so be it, but I would think the tires should wear fairly evenly, even if soft and sticky, and certainly the rears should go first. Is there a consensus out there? Thx!

....sorry that was to say that the wear on the inside is normal. You might however consider swapping the fronts side to side to get some more miles out of them.I did this recently and should get anothe 10-12k out of them ( I hope).

I have seen anywhere from 10k to 25k on the fronts. And as little as 5k on the rears before needing replacement. It all depends on how hard you drive and on what types of roads.
