Tyre Wear

I appreciate tyre wear is fully dependent on so many factors but I would like to get a handle on what is reasonable tyre wear on my car.

I have 20 inch M Sport rims and run 32psi all round. The 4 wheel alignment has been checked and nothing untoward has been found (no abnormal camber or excessive toe-in on the front)

My front Dunlop SP SPort Maxxs only lasted about 12k miles before the outer edges were worn to 2mm and the rest of the tyre about 3mm. I now have Bridgestone Dueller H/P Sport on the front and after 10k miles it appears the outer edges are wearing quicker again (about 5mm and the rest of the tyre 7mm).

The rears are still on the original Dunlop Sport Maxxs and have worn fairly evenly with just under 3mm tread after 22k miles. They will be replaced with Bridgestone DUellers in the next week.

Thanks in advance for any advice/views
