could use some help here, i have not rotated at exactly 14,000 and have some serious wear on the fronts - backs are in good shape. I drive in sport mode and drive hard all the time
Did you rotate at all? If not-which tyres wore the fastest - front or rear?

I would put the 2 best tyres (remaining) in front - and 2 new tyres at rear.

When eventually replacing "original" fronts. - I would put brand new ones at the rear and the "previously" new ones to the front.

Thereafter try to rotate. @ 8000 - 10 000 km and note if better results achieved.
