   Hi Xeno,   
      
   As you know, I only get about 20K miles per tire, particularly if I don't   
   rotate them every 5K miles and _flip_ them on the rim every 10K miles.   
      
   But my driving (as is the driving of all my neighbors) is considered   
   extreme, due to the high temporary camber on the inside front tire on the   
   downhill side (as you're well aware of).   
      
   Given these extreme conditions, I rotate at no later than 5K, and I should   
   probably rotate even sooner, as I should probably flip them on the rims   
   about every 5K instead of every 10K.
