tire wear pattern

It's time for me to buy new tires and I was concerned about my tire wear pattern and wanted to check if this is normal. The tires on the car are the OEM tires and I was noticing the back tires wear away faster than the front tires. In addition, both rear tires seem to wear faster on the left side of the tire tread. Is this normal wear pattern for the type r? or is there something wrong with my car?

(note, the tires have been rotated probably twice that I remember)

The wear on the left side is normal but your rear tires should not be wearing faster. It should be the other way around but that is probably due to your rotation.

Why does only the left sides wear most? I've only noticed the outer edges on each tire wear, but that's because most of my driving is auto-x and track.

What do you mean wear on the left side? Do you mean on the outer part of the tread?
