Default Usual tire rotation?

I just rotated my tires today at 11,460 miles. This is my first change and the front tires had about 15% tread left. Is this normal? Or do i drive too aggressively?

No its not normal and yes you drive to aggressive if they are that bald. Did you regularly check the tire pressure in them? That also can wear your tires faster than normal if they are underinflated or over. Also you are suppose to rotate every 6k miles or so.

Alright. Learned something new today. When you do your oil, do everything.

It is good practice. Change oil, rotate tires and inspect the brakes while the wheels are off.
