The SVT is a performance car and will have a handling oriented front wheel alignment (negative camber, tires tilt in at the top) which will wear the inside edge fast. Inherent in the setup.
Plus the performance tires it's fitted with will wear faster than grocery getter tires.
You may be able to swap the tires side to side (that is, remove them from the wheels and swap them left to right) to put the inside edge on the outside and wear the other side awhile. Also frequent rotation front to rear will help.
I drove the SVT Contour once. Impressive car, but too small for me, and rare here in Canada.
