Whoa... not in New Zealand you don't!!!!
My Father can get 50K miles out of a set of really good quality tyres on his BMW, no idea how long the A ones will last. He's a bit more conservative than I am (35 vs 65 years of age, I guess!)
I used to get about 13K miles out of a set on my lease/ sales rep cars (Corolla, Pulsar, Civic etc) - lots of open road driving on our winding "country" roads (Which is the best we have where I live).
On my/wifes personal cars (Legacy, Impreza, Accord, Vigor, BMW 5 etc), about 20K miles.
I live in a town of about 60,000 and I have to drive for 2 hours on open state "highway", before I get to a Motorway!
