That doesn't sound unusual for summer. high-performance tires. Look them up on tirerack.com for comments on mileage.

I took off my HPTs with about 20k and put on snows....the dealer thought I could squeeze another 5k or so out of them, but I told him I'm done with Bridgestone. Falken or Michellin HPTs for me in the summer of '05.

11,200 on mine. Treadwear at 50%. I have rotated the tires twice and replaced one because of a sidewall puncture.

Wearing out fast

Hi,

I've got about 14k on mine, and wearing very fast. I will need to replace in another 1-2K. Pretty poor tread life IMHO. My driving is pretty much highway/city commute of 30 miles each. Nothing harsh.

I'm at 15.5K and my rears are worn to the wear bars. I think it's probably due to a couple of trips with a load in the rear (causes unusually large toe-in due to some suspension "feature").
