I am down to the limit after less 13k miles on my rear offside tyre - 19 inch Scorpions, this is in the centre with between 2 and 3mm on outside. The nearside is slightly better at 3 to 4mm. Tyres have been used at recommended 36 psi. Previous fronts and rears have lasted 16 k.
I believe this to be abnormally excessive - anybody with similar stories?.

Mine are 19" and down to 3/4mm after 15k miles.
Last set were 18" and lasted 22k plus.
Needless to say I won't be buying Scorpion Zeros again

I've got Latitude Tour HPs - replacement for the Synchrones - brilliant tyre, and good for 40K. I've done 15K on these and they look like new. Stick to greasy country roads like glue and are super quiet. TDV6 SE Auto, Cairns Blue

Had two new Scorpions fitted yesterday, £145.00 each fitted by a local tyre firm, Stealer's best price was £167 each. 
How does that compare to UK prices? Stadt Panzer power

John,
Much closer than the moon - Germany, although it does feel like living on a different plant sometimes. Stadt Panzer power
