I know how you feel. After reading all the threads about how much people paid for which year of XF with such and such mileage, it can be a little discouraging at times. (I, too, had to replace my tires within a few months.) I didn't pay very much for mine (also higher mileage than most) and it seems that somebody is always getting a better deal. But after a while, I became immune to it. I was happy with the deal when I made it and now I have a XF with Goodyear F1's and I didn't have to spend a couple of years wearing out the OEM tires before I got them. Somebody is ALWAYS going to get a better deal kinda like somebody is always going to have a faster car. I learned a long time ago (and this applies to real estate, electronics, computers, cars, etc.) buy what you like and can afford and don't look back. As one member says, Enjoy the Ride!
