How many miles before wheels shouold wear out?

Today, I noticed that my tires have no treadwear left and I am surprised because I have only put in 10K miles with this car. I have the 20" rims with Michelin Diamaris on them and I do not skid with this truck. Is this wear normal or is something going on?

We have less than 7k miles on our 20" Diamaris tires and are already at the wear bars! My wife drives the car 95%+ of the time, and the wear is even so no alignment or air pressure problems!

Yep, this thing sure goes through consumables: tires every 7k, 1qt oil every 1k, and 11 MPG.
