I am told it is the tires, and the Michelin and Bridgestone both make tires in the OE size for the 19"s in the sport package, and that they do much better wear wise.
I got 30K on the 17" OE Contis. I replaced them with Michelin Latitudes. Those Michelins now have 17K on them, and don't look like they go more than 20K.

Tires rotated every 5K and pressures checked regularly. I'll probably go back to the Contis when these Michelins are done.
