Default That is not much for miles on the stock 15's. I still have mine on my car and I have

over 91,000 miles on my car with about 80% of those miles on my stock tires and I still have tread left on all 5.

Default which tires? 225/45/17 Potenza RE040s here with 22k miles on them, they're at 1-2/32"

It's all about:
- keeping them at the correct psi for your conditions, driving habits, etc. (check cold temps at least twice a month)
- 5k mile rotations (I do it at oil changes)
- keeping them balanced (5-10k miles or if they start to vibrate)
- an annual alignment

Ditto here. I'm only ~2/32" or so at most away from the wear bars, with ~21,000 miles on them.
