Mileage before Replacing

How many miles did you have on the TL before the became bald or needed replacement? I'm not asking about people that replaced them because of the flatspotting issue.

I was surfing around Tirerack.com the other day and most people replaced the EL42s because of balding after 13-15k miles. Seems pretty poor. This might be an excuse for me to justify some Michelin Pilot Sport A/S tires.

We did have a few ppl having this issue, their EL42s or whatever tires they put in the rear two are becoming "bald" due to alignment issues or something about the chassis.
