It looks like my rear tires are wearing quicker than front ones. I rotated them at 7500 miles (Oct 2006) and I could not notice the difference then. Now I have 16400 and rears are 4/32 comparing to 7/32 fronts. I did not rotate them yet. Did anybody notice anything like that?

Check to make sure that your fronts aren't just wearing more on the inside edge...

What would that mean? Bad alingment? I checked it and it is fine. Besides, all four are wearing evenly, no differences between inside and outside. Just rears faster than fronts.

Fronts typically wear faster on the inside edge than the rears on most cars, just wanted to be sure that you checked. Alignment is a possibility, if your toe was off in the rear, that could be the reason. Other than that, I got nothing...

Keep in mind the speed6 has a pretty significant negative camber for the rear tires. Inside edges will wear a lot faster if not rotated religiously.
