for one, these are r compound tires. from the sound of it, it doesn't look like u know what that means.
i would do a bit more research. ur tires are not street tires, they are competition tires. due to the compound of the rubber, they are not meant to last. if you want tires that will last, i would look into other brands/models of tire.
since u don't do any track days, you are not seeing the full potential of these tires. some aggressive street tires should suffice for what you use the tires for.

R888, not a street tire, not that great of a track tire. 2k km would be fine for these, given that he has no idea what he is doing. Are they worn to the side grrove or to the base of the tread elements? Which tred compound?

235 - 17 - 40 well i found the problem is that i like to acelerate to much the first 1 gear and 2 gear when the green light open and my driving is to aggresive also well today i bough the both tires 200$ but is a short term solution for the moment because next tire is going to be a all season something like t 1 r or potenza.
