When I swapped mine for the Gislaved's at 10000 miles, I would say that the tire wear on the fronts was about 40%, possibly 50%. My rear's were pretty new looking. I guess I should have rotated at 5000 miles. Live and learn. Anyway, I expect 20,000 out of them.
About driving habits - I'm pretty hard on them. Nearly every day in the summer I get to a ramp with a long wait. Following the wait, the cars fully warmed up and there's a downhill launch onto the freeway. Of course, I launch pretty quickly, approaching hitting TCS in 1st gear. Ah - what fun! So yes, I'm pretty tough on them. Good fun...
So you're going to give up your Aero at the end of the lease? For another Aero I hope? If I'm as happy with mine 2 years from now as I am today, I fully intend to keep it and maybe spring for the Nordic package. I'd love to increase the power and firm up the suspension so there's less body roll.
Good luck and Happy Holidays!
Bryce
