Default why are my front tires wearing faster than the rear?

I have 275/40ZR17 Yoko ES100's and they have about 10K miles. The fronts are wearing much faster than the rears which makes no sense to me. It's even wear across the tire and I do the occasional burnout just no smokin' burnouts. I always thought the rears would wear faster in a RWD car. Am I just tire stupid?

I read this, and was like WTF?!?

My tires on the rear wear faster than the fronts...

Then I realized it was my fault

Oh well, at least it looks cool
