I think the BEST I ever got on my full-size was a set of Michelin's that went like 60K, but they look like girly truck tires, so I normally run BFG's which are good for 40-45K.

My only thought is that up in the northeast snow and wet road conditions and cold temps could help save a lot on tire wear. In the southeast (and assuming southwest) it's always hot, it was 90+ for MONTHS this year, rain is quick and goes away, and no winter could be why our tires don't last as long. The hotter the driving surface, the more grip, the more wear?
