Unusual tire wear...rears shot too soon?

Regardless of the cause, get some Coni's Extreme Contact DWS tires is you want better wear.

Read some of the threads in the Auto cross/track section.

Zero toe to a hair toe in is what you want.

Read again. I said toe in, out back... We are on the same side here. LOL
I have experienced the snap with OEM specs after I lowered. That's when I went to a touch toe in, in the rear.

That's some pretty heavy toe front and back. Get the front to dead zero. And I as I said a touch toe in, in the back. Different machines read different, but I think if you're in oem spec, you're toed out at all 4 corners. Either way it's more than a 1/4" total toe in back. And more than an 1/8" in front. Both are high numbers IMO. It's toe eating your tires most likely.

Sorry, I missed the word "in" in the sentence.

My eyes skipped over it.

That changes the meaning of the sentence.
