If this is in fact true I'm very effin impressed. I just bought mine and I'm sort of hoping to get decent mileage out of them despite the treadwear rating. I assume though that if you are staying on top of tire pressures and not driving like an ass this CAN be doable. However for me I doubt it considering I'm staggered and can't rotate..

I got 25k-30k miles out of my Dunlop Direzza Z1 star specs, they were a daily tire. I would take a look at those, even if you aren't worried about performance, they will give you incredible handling and steering response!

I'm serious. Got the star specs on at about 80k, got new wheels at around 105k, sold my ap1 wheels. The rears were done, the fronts had a little left to go. It's a lot of highway though as I have a 80 mile round trip commute to work. Here's a pic my rears before I sold the wheels.

. Patrick, the tail of the dragon trips do give the tires hell too 
And by the way, Reapur is talking in kilometers, not miles. So really, he means about 16k miles.

Were the tires wearing evenly? Be honest here. Most other tires you can buy for this car are going to wear FASTER than these tires you just claim wore out after 13k miles.
Given that most of us get much longer tire wear than you described, I suspect something else is amiss here.
