Default Tires and brakes longevity

I would like to compare mileage and km for tires and brakes. Please respond. My ESh is exactly 10 years old, bought in 2014.
TIRES Changed: 95,000 km or 59,000 miles
BRAKES: still using original brakes, 35 to 40% left: 116,000 km or 72,000 miles
Low mileage because it is not driven in the winter.

I gear down a lot but my wife does not.

Thanks for your replies!

You gear down (downshift?) to brake on a hybrid?

I am not sure what is the purpose of the comparison?

When your brakes wear down or become glazed, you change them. At 10,000km or at 100,000km - doesn't matter. I could have a track day and be on a second set of brakes in a single day.

Same thing goes for tires. Sometimes you change them not because of wear, because of age or you want to try out a more advanced tire, or to experiment with rim sizes.

I changed my tires at 40,000 miles in December. They still had decent tread, but they were 7 years old.
