Thank you for the correction. I will make sure to tell my husband who is a Performance Application Specialist in the tire industry, that he has been using the incorrect terminology for the past 17 years. 
As for getting mileage out of tires, I replaced the original Conti's on my Boxster with 35,000 miles on them. Of course, I kept the car properly alligned, keep the tires balanced and properly inflated and 95% of the driving is "spirited" country road driving, and not much track time.
