Tire usage
It's completely normal. The S isn't your parents' sedan. 
Start here:

and then search around for camber.

Did you or a previous owner (assuming yours is used) have a negative camber set up? That'll eat through tires faster than a zero camber set up, but it won't handle as well if you like pushing the car into the corners.
Also, what tires are you using? I have Goodyear Eagle F1's, GS-D3 and they wear out quick, 15-20k mi. I'm thinking of finding some other tires for it because of the wear issue but the problem is I don't want to lose the grip but with what these tires cost, even from Tire Rack, I think I'm going to have to bite the bullet and go with something else.

Get an alignment. Excessive toe will cause increased wear.
Also, as stated, if it is wearing in the middle of the tire, you're likely over-inflating the tires. Something around 32psi cold pressure is usually a good place to start.

HAte to tell ya mxt_77 but toe dont wear tires.
Toe will wear tires much faster than camber will.
Think of it... if you have non-zero toe, then you're effectively "dragging" the tire sideways as you drive (since it's pointing in a different direction than the direction of travel). However, if you have zero toe, but non-zero camber, then the tire is still spinning/turning in the correct direction; however, you're just putting more weight on a smaller portion of the tire.
