this normally means to much negative camber or toe is out of whack.
Or maybe they just wear out that fast, my research says not.
So new ones will be here this week, I will mount and have them checked
out. Then decide on setting best for overall use.
I can spare being a little slower at track, for longer tire wear
That's awesome that you've got 7800km. It's great to see someone driving and enjoying their car. Keep us posted on what you find with the alignment.

7800 is awesome, I'm at just about half that exactly, 3900 some odd km, but you took delivery before I did.

They're pretty much a track tire, I don't think they're supposed to last that long. I was wondering how bad of an effect some cheeper perelli's or something would have.

People have mentioned cheaper tires.
But the biggest difference between R and other GT350's
is the wheel and tires, to me you lose what it can do.
In other words, should have bought the cheaper car LOL.
I love tracking it, super fun, it means consumables are going
to cost more or I drive it less, guess I should start saving my pennies.

All the reading I did, suggested around 18k per set.
tracking it, wears them much faster for sure.
I did not set it to track alignment Like ford suggested,
I am sure faster, but also pain in the *** getting it aligned
before and after, also likely wear much quicker.
I am real curious to see what original setting are and
suppose to be, then I will have better Idea of whats real.
