Do these tyres look normal after 900km???

Hi all,
I noticed my 19" Pilot Sports seem to have some marbelling on them and look quite scrubbed up after 900km.

Is this normal?

Do other owners have a similar looking wear pattern on their tyres?

These are the front tyres that I am referring to.

Yeah they fine for a tire that has been pushed hard.I am surprised that you have done that much in only 800 kms,so you must have some fun roads to play on

Thanks, I have been enjoying most of thost kays in the twisties, I suspected this was from the cornering.

Oh well they are only tyres!

Yup, looks normal if you've been been driving some twisty roads. I'm jealous! haha.
