Mine were bald there after 20,000km whereas I should get 30,000 out of the rears.

When your car arrives, it might pay to have a good independent check the alignment (a few including myself were delivered with excess toe-in) and running the pressures a bit higher than recommended - I use 38psi which helps a little.
Thanks Johhnydad for the insight. That's great help! Also what a synchronicity! Johnnydad and Ericdad! :-)
