Definitely an anomaly on those tires!

I have AWD as well and my OEM are ready to go. I'm at around 26k miles. I also have dedicated winter tires so you're definitely an anomaly!

im too lazy to look it up Turanza's specifically, but most tires come with 7/32 being full tread. so 1/32 of wear for 19K miles is practically nothing lol

We replaced out tires on our 350 F Sport at 25k and the front pads have 5mm left and we're at 41k on the odometer but are getting replaced due to them sounding like there on a 1970's delivery truck.

That's what I had on mine. Performance was okay, noise was not great, but treadwear was okay. I had just over 16k miles on my IS350 AWD when I traded it in and the tires had enough life left to meet the CPO criteria without replacement. I believe they were at 6/32".
