Are the stock RE050s supposed to last around 12k-15k as well (rears)? Because the Pole Positions have a much better treadwear rating in the survey, but maybe consumers are just wrong?

Interesting, the tire rack, spec sheet for the RE050A PP, show 140 treadwear, for the 255/40/17, and 280 for the 245/40/17 (OEM size).

maybe you guys should use the OEM 050! My 05 S2 has 34k mile and I'm still running my OEM front and back.

If the wear is even, by default its not the alignment. Just burning them up.
I'd reduce rear toe to more like 1/8" - 3/16" total (.3 - .4 degrees). 1/4" is a bit much especially for the AP2.
