I consider anything less than 20K miles out of the rear tires on either of my cars a failure. Best was 23K miles and then a tire got a screw and the tech found the tread depth remaining enough (3mm) for the tire to qualify for replacement under the road hazard warranty I had bought for the tires, so one tire was replaced free of charge.
A good alignment will pay for itself by prolonging the life of at least 2 very expensive tires.
I am lucky to get 10-12K on a set of rears if I drive nicely.

Are you using non-standard alignment specs?
I've never gotten anything close to that. Maybe half of that amount.
What is the optimal street pressure for less wear?
I know what to do on the track but no one ever talks about street pressures.
Well it's gonna depend on your setup and driving style but the stated 44psi by the factory is for a "loaded" car assuming 4 people and luggage. A lot of people don't realize this and automatically run those pressures. Going off the top of my head, I think 37-38 rear is for 1 person driving but I don't have the manual handy just now.
I'm running GT3 suspension and I've found 33f/37r to be a good setup for the street.
