10,000mile maintenance!!

So i took my car to a car service shop had the engine oil change checked the levels on all the car and had them rotate my tires(first time) to my surprise the front tires inner threads where worned out they put the car on the aligment elevator and everything seemed to be normal so the guy told me that maybe it was cause i didnt rotate my tires at the 5,000mile mark!
so what do you guys think??
cant be normal!

I rotate my tires every 4k at the same time I change the oil. My stock tires lasted a little over 12.5k and I attribute the wear to my suspension setteling after I alligned the car.

The service manager recommended I rotate mine every oil change which is every 5,000mi, I guess Ill do it when it comes time, thought maybe he was just tryin to make a buck

Crazy camber wear is normal for the Evo platform. The advans are very soft and wear out fast, and with our car coming with an alignment favoring the inner edge they wear even faster. It is a common problem with VIII, IX and X.

I replaced my stock advans at 11k. Inner side was worn. The tires are soft and if you drive the car like its supposed to be driven they wont last long. I ended up getting myself a set of bridgestone re960s. Did really well in the snow and still grip really well.

it will not avoid this, it will just slow down the process a little bit. this is inevitable... especially if you do any aggressive turns

My Advans lasted about 20k miles with regular rotations, how hard are you driving the car everyday?
