Default F-Sport'ers, how long did your original tires/brakes last?

How long did your original F-sport tires last, and how long did your original brake pads last?

how many miles, and what kind of commute? highway, streets, stop & go, etc.

Tires (Bridgestones) lasted about 20K miles and brakes were just replaced at 30K. Mostly city but some highway (usually stop and go).

Still on the original brake pads, with 8mm left.

Just changed out the tires yesterday, I'm really surprised they lasted so long!

The original tires that came on my AWD F-Sport were Bridgestone Turanza EL400s, and they lasted over 53,000 miles, with some useable tread left.

Longevity aside though, the Michelin Primacy MXM4 tires I put on yesterday blow away the Bridgestones, with better ride comfort, low road noise, and very good handling.

I just had the talk with my service advisor... 18.5k miles and my brakes are at 3mm, and I don't even drive aggressively! That seems pretty ridiculous.
