Default Is this normal?

I'm running 235/35/19 Dunlop SP9000s on my front tires and i'm lowered an inch on tein basics. I've had these tires for about 18k miles now and the tread life is still more than 50%. I'm confused because I have noticeable camber in the front and my rear tires wore out 3 times as fast. Are the front tires supposed to last this long?

Sounds normal to me. I burned off the rear set of tires and the fronts had a ton of tread left on them.

Tire wear also has a lot to do with your driving style.
