Excessive rear tire wear.....?

Well my daily driver got another service, and another clean bill of health, however the shop said: "Only thing is, you'll want to replace those rear tires soon".
Really? I put on a new set last spring! However they probably have 20,000 or so miles on them. I know from previous threads that these cars are hard on rear tires. So is this typical of the amount of life I can expect? No biggie, but just curious.
I should add that I had the suspension and alignment set up to favor tire wear over handling.
And the shop also pointed out I was running them a bit under-inflated. I have been running them 27 psi F, 32 psi R. I have corrected it to the factory recommended 29 F, 36 R.
