Tread wear
As i was replacing my blue turn signal bulbs with the stock amber bulbs, i noticed that the tread on my front tires are worn compared to the back. My tires are only about two months old. Any advice guys on what could be the problem? Im gettin my alignment done soon as well.

There could be a number of things.
Cheap tires
agressive cornering
spinning tires on dry or wet pavement
racing at the track
a lot of city driving
a lot of curves where you live
tire pressure
suspension upgrades that firm up the ride can increase wear
and a few more maybe, but not all would cause very premature wear.
Being a front wheel drive car, and heavy on the frontend is an issue as well.
Personally, I've not got more than 23,000 off of a set so far, but I have been at the track and those 2nd gear chirps add up.
So, I've decided to buy less expensive tires. Well guess what, they've done worse. I've got 7,000 miles and was going to have them rotated last week, but they are shot. To make things worse, I've not had these tires on the track, nor does my TLS chirp 2nd like my it did with my 1st tranny, and I've been much easier on them all around. I can safely say these tires suck in a number of ways and wouldn't recommend them.
225/45 ZR17 Falken Ziex ZE512 in case you're wondering.
