The alignment REALLY reduced tire wear, I run sticky Y rated Ultrac Vortis (NO treadlife warranty, 200 rating). These are similar to Michelin SuperSports, crazy grip!

The pic is after 20k miles....online tire forum posters say these won't last that long, I expect 40k out of the rears (50k fronts).
You know everything that I have read about the Vortis is that they have a treadwear rating of UTOG:320 (Check out the attached link). Does the set that you have a different class of vorti and different tradwear rating? I am putting a set of these on the X this spring since I cannot get our tire size in the Michelin PSS.
