I have 13k miles and am on my 3rd set of tires. Combo of some track time, and awesome NJ potholes. My first set of rears was down to 4/32nds (BMW's cutoff for warranty replacement) by 8k miles.

If you don't track the car at all, and rarely find yourself driving at high speeds, then jump down from a Max performance tire to something with a slightly lower speed rating. On my E46 M3 vert I replaced my Pilot Sports w/ some Dunlops (I think; may have been Bridgestones. I just remember that they had an awesome snakeskin looking tread pattern) and the ride was better, and the tires lasted almost twice as long for less $$.
