Default bald tires

so my rear tires are basically bald, but when i look at the front tires, there's a good amount of meat left.
the rears are like indy car tires - absolutely no tread, while the fronts look practically new.
I never do any burnouts but there have been times when my wheels didn't have any grip and just spun a few times, and i don't even have 15k miles
Is it normal to have such uneven wearing between the fronts and rears?

Yes....rears last about 10K.....so with 15K you have used them up.

I replaced my rears last year and the fronts are still good.

Fronts last about 2x as long as rears.

Yeah, I keep waiting for all four to be worn out at the same time so I can get a set of Goodyear F1s, but so far it hasn't happened. Maybe if I get one more summer out of the fronts...
