It depends on alot of factors. Do you burn out alot? How many miles have you put on? Also if its only on one wheel , it may be an uneven alignment.

Default Pirelli

The P-Zero Rosso's are considered a Maximum performance tire, therefore I would expect that they would be extremely sticky/soft compound, so yes I'd expect them to wear much more quickly than a tire rated more as High performance or Ultra High Performance.

All the Pirellis I've ever owned wore out quickly. I don't buy Pirellis anymore...they wear fast and don't offer any better peformance (at least in my experience) than nearly all of the tires I've driven on.
