I have only recently bought a new era model WRX, the tyres on the front are nearly worn out after 7k, it has Brigestone Potenza tyres, I dont drive it that hard, is this typical, anyone know of a tyre which will give me better wear

Check the pressures(should be about 32-34) and then Get the Geometry and tracking checked by the dealer. The Evo long term test car wore out a set of tyres in about the same period of time.

They had the geometry etc checked and corrected by Powerstation and got over 13000 miles from the next set.

I got 15k out of my fronts without swapping and the rears still had some tread.

My pressures were 32/30
