Very common on F-Types including V6 and V8.
Caused by poor wheel alignment and plenty of F-Types leave the factory that way.

The cars are also set with an aggressive camber, you'll see uneven wear on the rears as well. The camber is for better cornering but it does result in uneven wear. Many high-performance cars are set up like this.

Wow don't know what going on there, my rears on my 2.0 were gone so went up from 295 to 305 on the back, decided to upgrade the fronts to matching 265,s, the fronts were down to 4mm/5mm and as you can see from picture below they had perfect tyre wear, the rears although were worn to the marker had even wear also. Sold the fronts on to another guy. Weird.

My fronts on my 16 R are so bad you’d think I have my car setup for road racing only, I have probably 60-70% treat left and almost showing corded on my inner front tires. Cake from factory like that .

I had lowering springs installed a bit over two years ago now, and got a full wheel alignment at the same time.
About two weeks later I scrapped the OEM P-Zeros and fitted MPS4S. The P-Zeros both front and rear had similar wear to the OPs, very worn on the inner edges but heaps of tread in the middles and on the outer edges.
Since then the MPS4S have worn very evenly with maybe a tiny bit more wear on the inner edges than the outer edges. This is to be expected as previously noted due to the correct negative camber both front and rear.
I put the much more even wear down to 90% the wheel alignment and 10% the MPS4S.

I actually have a fresh pair of MPS4 sitting in my garage just waiting for my rims to arrive, I noticed the car sitting with a lot of camber when i picked it up recently from the original owner, but I had no idea was as bad as it was until I took it to the dealership for service. The p zeros are not that good either, so intended on buying new tires anyways.

Happened to me when my car was new. It ate a set of tires in a hurry before I realized and had alignment fixed. JLR warranty would pay for alignment but not tires.

Factory was not following its own spec.

That amount of uneven wear is pretty extreme. I more frequent inspection, like at every or every other wash would have revealed what looks like a condition that could have been dangerous. Like on wet or snowy/icy road.

A few mentions of camber, but incorrect toe will kill tires much faster.
