I am seeing this too, especially on the fronts. I have been meaning to create a post with pictures and thoughts/opinions, just haven't had time. I don't these cars come with a bad alignment, even though others have stated it. My fronts are definitely wearing quickly on the outside, cupping too along the outer batch of what is left of the tread blocks. I am working on a warranty claim for my front tires, goign to get one for free if I buy the other it looks like - this at 6800 miles. The rears are normal. It's a 4000lb+ car on high performance tires, it will eat them. You definitely need 4 of the same size tires to be able to rotate on these beasts.
I did get my front tires rebalanced and it did solve the wobble that developed at 80mph. There is also no such thing as a Road Force balance either I'm told, that's just the name/brand of a machine that balances tires. Our cars do receive a static balance, meaning there is only a wheel weight on the inside of the rim and not on the outside. It's not considreed a true balance for that reason and probably why so many people report the wobble, because the tires work themselves out of balance after a little while. Sorry for the rambling,
Eric
