ok, well your shocks are likely to be getting quite worn by now, assuming they're the original ones. I'm no expert on this, but I wouldn't have thought that would have a huge effect on tyre wear.
Perhaps the shocks being a bit worn will make the handling not quite so good, so as you're going round those roundabouts maybe the car won't be as planted as it could be (similarly the geo would help handling).
I wouldn't expect the tyres to start wearing out loads quicker. A bit perhaps, not loads. But I could be wrong, of course.
This would be a good one from Tony from WIM, if he happens to drop by.

Stav what size are your tyre's and did your Mazda wheels go straight on or did you need spacers?
Tyres. - Sparkystav - 21-06-2017
my tyres are 215,45,18 (might be 225 i cant quite remember)
and yes they fitted straight on (though i do have spacers cause of my brakes) but theyd fit without them

Cheers Stav had my eye on a set but missed out
ad:Does anyone one know if wheels off a GS will fit an IS?
Tyres. - Sparkystav - 21-06-2017
they should do.
You eyeing up the multi spokes? dont think the wider rears (10 inch) will fit though

Yeah the multi spokes with the slightly wider rears, oh well that's another option out the window then
