P7000 Summer review (excessive tread wear)

I have a set of Pirelli tires on my aero and the tires are wearing a hole in my pocket. They wear evenly up front so I don't think its an alignment issue but they are going very quickly. I would say that in 15k miles I've already had to switch the fronts to the back and have about 1/2 treadlife all around. Is the turbo wearing these tires? Am I expecting too much from really sticky performance tires? I have trouble breaking these tires free and would absolutely recomend them to anyone thinking about it. But the treadwear can be expensive. What should I think about for replacements when I drive amost 35k miles a year almost all highway? They are also a bit noisy but are great.
