Default Uneven tire wear
Anyone have the issue of the rear tires losing tread faster than the front?

Default yup. how's your alignment? tire pressures?
too much air/too hot + wheel spin and oversteer =

Default is 38-40 slightly on the high side for F1s? do they tend to pick-up pressure when hot?
are you seeing overall more wear in the rear or like my tires pictured?

Default Not like your pics
Fronts still look pretty new
Tread depth on the rear looks a lot lower
I put 10K on the set
