I'm at 7800 miles and the OEM Michelins are wearing - lucky to get 15000 miles out of them. 80% local driving.

19K miles, rotated twice and overall looking ok. Probably will get 40K on them. Mostly highway driving.

easiest way to rate expectations of mileage is to look at the treadwear rating stamped in the sidewall of your tires. this will be a 3 digit number. you can roughly gauge maximum life expectations based on this number. e.g. if the treadwear rating is 260, the max life is roughly 26,000. if the treadwear rating is 400, the max life is roughly 40,000. the higher the number, the harder the rubber compound is. now keep in mind there is no standardize industry graph, all of these numbers are stictly put out by the individual manfacturers, and as they say-"your mileage may vary."
