I'm in the UK, where we don't normally swap tyres around, and tyre wear
rates are high due to the nature of our roads. My experience may be
different to the US. However, front tyres on my Focus can be worn out in
as
little as 10K miles, and rears in 25K.
If you are rotating your tyres when part-worn, and getting 25K miles from
a
set of four, that's pretty good by my standards!
