The wear on these sounds comparable to my own experiences and I can only put it down to the increased pressures that you are using - or something wrong with both our steering geometry. As we've both had that checked, and found to be in tolerance, perhaps it is just pressure? > I assume when your tyres were rotated, they were kept rotating in the > same direction?

The tyres are directional anyway, so they can only swap front to rear on the same side. Simon
