Usually it's the other way around. These cars eat front tires while the rears last forever.
Did you install them new?
Have you rotated them?
Is the wear even or just on the inside?

Is it bald on the inside edge of the tire. If it is, then it is possibly the rear negative camber. You should rotate your tires and/or drive more curvy roads (but drive less on straight highways).
