Yes, the tire is 'worn out' prematurely. There has been a couple of times we dropped the pressure to 'even' out the tire wear cause we wanted them to last longer but I don't remember that being successful. Normally for me, tires are replaced at 20,000 miles front on a Fit kind of car and 45000 on the rear.
Yes, I replace only one axle worth of tires at a time. The cost of rotating tires has never proven worthwhile and it keeps my out-of-pocket cost down for any one change. (I know the overall cost doesn't change but I prefer spending $150 at one time rather than $300 (for Fit tires, my other cars tires cost a lot more, especially with the crude price runup Some of thode get replaced at 5k or less miles; they seem to need newer hipo tires to go faster)
