Surprise Surprise! I went to a secondary alignment company (D and E Alignment, Escondido CA) who did an elaborate alignment with weights inside the car to bring springs into spec for the alignment. (I think he said weights are required because the i3 doesn't have a camber adjustment. ) The...
Thank you for your input. I would be over joyed with 25k miles per set. All 4 have wear on inside.

Thank you, Alohart. Yes, I maintain correct pressure. I agree that mounting inside-out is not ideal but it's the only way I can extend the wear to any reasonable mileage right now. I did it on previous set and it handles fine for my moderate driving.
In March 2024 I bought 4 Bridgestone Ecopia 600's and promptly paid for an alignment. 2500 miles/3months later I'm already down to 3/32nd tread! Inside treads are wearing aggressively front and rear. Consequently, I paid Discount Tires to turn the tires inside out, swap then left to right...
