Any thoughts on the wear pattern on these tires Goodyear Eagle Touring at 12k miles?
Tires still have some tread left but the front tires are shredding while the rears look fine.
I've never seen tread shred like this.

You might have some defective tires (too old, manufacturing issue, improperly stored, etc). How old are they (based on the DOT production year code on the tire, not when you bought them)?

Maybe swing by a tire shop, see what they have to say about it.

Had this happen to a set of Cayenne tires (Michelin PS3’s). Discount Tires said a combination of age/heat. Replaced with a warranty credit for miles.

Looks to me like the front and rear axles are trying to go at different speeds which leads me to believe there is a problem with stability control or launch control (if you use it I don't).
The rears are bigger so will always dominate and any excess slip will have to be taken by the fronts.
