When and where you drive, the road surfaces, road temperatures, tire pressures, and lots of other things can affect longevity of the tires.

Since you and I both live here in Colorado, just a couple of towns apart from each other, we could have a closer comparison, than us trying to compare to someone in Maine, Las Vegas, or Toronto and their tire wear.

Also, I've done several track days at HPR on my tires, and I'm not sure if you're taken your car out there yet. If you haven't, then our wear can't be compared against each other at all.

BC, you make some good points. I have two track days so far at HPR. However, to say, "If you haven't (done several track days at HPR), then our wear can't be compared against each other at all" is a bit of a stretch. That track is easier on tires than Pueblo IMO. Additionally, I likely drive more than you. Also, I don't know a whole lot of people that drive harder within legal limits than I.
