That should be covered under warranty. Either through dodge, or the tire manufacture.
It will be prorated for the 6k miles you have used though. If the fronts are still looking new, then there is def something going on, not right.
Do not just except that this is normal.

Tires are covered under the tire manufacturer warranty, not the vehicle manufacturer.

My wife drives moderately aggressive, but we had a Z06 (that could smoke the rear tires, and often did when she drove) where the rear tires lasted 15,000 miles. I have maintained proper pressures, and they say the alignment is good.

I did get a call from the service manager last night stating that he left a message for the the tire manufacturer, because he agrees that the wear is "not right". I hope to hear more today. Has anyone else had issues with tire wear?
What brand of tires are they? Hope I don't have the same problem with my 2012 Citadel since I put over 25K miles on per year and would end up replacing them 2+ times a year. But sure would not put the same ones on again if that's the case. On my 2005 D, I usually got about 50k miles to a set of Yokahamas, so every two years or so.
