I'm still trying to understand that one?!?!

The best thing you could do is buy a tread depth gauge for a couple of bucks at any auto parts store and check your tires periodically. That will give you about as accurate an estimate as can be had on how many miles you may have left on your tires. There are just too many variables between individuals and the type of driving they do, and how they drive. One person could get 30,000 and another only 10,000.
