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.

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