A LONG LONG time. That's about the only good thing about them. I've been beating the crap out of mine for 13k+ miles (because I want to replace them ASAP), and they still have 9/32" tread left (2/32"--or 1/16"--is the legal limit). If you drive like a regular person, I bet they'd last a good 50k. Probably more.

not rocket science
You can caculate how long they will last from the wear bar number on the side of the tire. If I recall correctly, multiply the value by 200, which gives the number of km of expected life. Divide by 1.6 to get miles of life. Anything (tire wear number) above 400 is a very long life, less than 200 and you're be visiting your tire dealer soon. I haven't looked at the TSX's so I can't give you the #.

My two front tires (I have rotated them once at 15k miles) are already wearing down and need to be replaced. The back 2 tires (which started as the front 2) still have some good tread left on them. I might rotate them once again before replacing them out. I have just over 28k miles on my TSX and have been driving it for 17 months.

ClutchPerformer is right. I rotated my 10k miles tires yesterday at the dealership, fronts down to 8/32'' so go to rear; rears still have 9/32'' and rotate to front. With this speed of usage, I would say the stock tires could last me at least 50k miles. However, different driving habit could result in very different tires life.
