I got 12 out of a pr4 front before having the pair changed. It still had a good 2-3k left.

Err slightly less worn than the middle. I'm missing you point here.

Front tyres wear on the edges badly. Often stepping or cupping as that's when they are under load

There was some stepping I will admit, but that has happened to every tyre I've ever had.

Although the BT016 I had when I first bought the SV was cupped as well.

You can't stop it. But this is when a front tyre is at the end of its life

OK as the top suspension guys use tyre wear to set up bikes if you could get a custom set up that controls the rebound and compression I guess you can get good wear.
My daytona eats front tyres at an alarming rate.
Hopefully the tiger will be better.
