Very interesting stats here. Your driving styles cannot be THAT different. Can they?!

wwilliams88 is a glorious beacon of light

Well, in my situation, not a lot of stop and go traffic. 120 miles/day round trip, 80% highway. My area of Florida is flat, so the only "hills" are overpasses. I do like to take corners at higher than normal speed, because I can, otherwise standard highway driving.

Also, I don't take the car to the track....

I just switched from Pirelli P-Zero Rossos to Michelin Super Sports.
Pirelli's sounded like truck tires in comparison.

As for tread life? Total subjective.
The more fun you've had, the more often you have to replace them.
