Damn same here as well actually. My rears run through tires way faster than my front.
I've had my same front toyo tires for over a year, about 12,000 miles. Even through the times when i was 2" off the ground haha. And they look like they could still go another 10 hopefully.

Stock, granny driven IS250 RWD. The front worn out the inner edge due to factory toe out at around 35k, the rear is still going at 46k with about 4/32" left. Fronts were replaced with Kumho LX Platinum and get 60k miles warranty when I bought them, now they only has 30k warranty for staggered setup.

I'm at 8,080 miles and I just had my two front tires swapped from side to side, due to excessive inner wear, and did an alignment(adjust toes). I should've done my alignment right after I installed my coilovers.

That sucks. I hit a crater last week but luckily my tire didn't blow...just got a new set mounted last month. Take photos of your wheels before you go to Costco. Sam's Club chipped 3 of my wheels (around the lug nut holes) when I had the tires replaced. Their insurance company hooked me up.
