Big heavy high torque engines (diesel) will eat front tyres. Combine that with the suspension geometry on the sportier VAG cars (GT/GTI/GTD/R) and they wear faster still.
Add a DSG into the mix with its fast get-away and general ease of acceleration and you end up with being lucky to see much more than 10k on a set of fronts.
My 1.4 TSI is wearing a bit better, but I doubt I will see 15k.
Iv got 30k out of mine so far still plenty left in them, I just swap them back to front every 10k or so. The pzeros the car had on didn't last as well they were factory fit, but gripped a lot better then the f1 asym 2, I'm going for mpss next. HTH

I had the compete opposite. For me the pzeros were much harder Less grip but lasted longer....
I got around 20k out of them(pzero) I did back to front them once, the fronts had completely gone there was a fair amount still left on the back ones, but there seemed to be cracks appearing on the side walls so ditched them at the same time, I was really impressed with the initial grip of the asym2 at first but as they wore down the grip is lacking somewhat compared to the pzeros that were on the limit! Imo, i am running 19''s I really liked the pzeros I'm also getting a lot of under steer with the f1's which was basically non existent with the pzeros. Was considering going back to pzeros but I'm hearing a lot of praise for the Michelin pilot super sport, so I'm gonna give them a try next.

I've done about 10k miles now with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymm 2 on the front and they are looking pretty worn (18" Interlagos wheels). Grip massively reduced, especially in the wet which is now just scary - even moderate acceleration results in wheelspin. Gonna be getting them changed very soon! I see Asymm 3 is now out although tempted to try Michelin Pilot Super Sport next.

Haha, must be Milton Keynes then! Know it well...I'm originally from Leighton Buzzard. Not surprised you're eating up tyres and brakes with all those roundabouts and dual carriageways!

but seems like quite high wear on the fronts?
