Front end alignment out of whack will wear out tires in a hurry. I try to rotate mine every 5 or 6 thousand miles.

I drive the car everyday and often put interstate miles on them at 55-60 (in overdrive).

What Tom said.

33,000 miles before I replaced my Goodyears and they still had an estimated 7 - 8000 left. You should not have to put up with less mileage with quality tires, if you're maintaining properly.
