Pzero nero poor treadlife, sound familiar?

Or maybe not, I've got 25,000 on some Pzeros on the stock '04 wrx wheels (which are on a stock 04 wrx). Rotated in the range of 4-6k ever since, except for this last one which is actually closer to 10k (I know, ). The fronts are wearing way faster on the inside, and the right is nearly down to the water trough on the inner-most side.

Question is, does this sound about right for the stock alignment setup with these tires, and a moderately rough driver? Or does it sound like an alignment/pressure issue? I had a trusted dealer do the alignment when the tires were brand new, and I run 33-37 psi.

Anyone had these tires in the past that can comment?

Thanks
