There are a lot of factors that could lead to much reduced life. Softer tires with better grip, and a driver who uses it, could easily lead to half that. It’s isn’t a simple “everyone should get 48-60k tire life”.

Thanks for the third grade level lesson on tire wear. I don’t know why you put quotes around the “everyone” comment, because I never said that. I said “I always get around 50-60 thousand miles on tires”. Do you know the difference in meaning between the two words “I” and “everybody”? There is nothing inaccurate about my comment. Why do you think tire manufacturers give a normal 40 to 60 thousand mile warranty on their tires?
