Toyos are like ballet slippers. Awesome stickiness. I'm saving my pennies for a second set.
Wear is a function of how you drive and your alignment settings. Check your tire pressure once a week. Rotate the fronts to the rear and vice versa and they'll last a lot longer. I'm thrilled with mine. 
My set before was P-Rossies. Nice tires but I got tired (pun intended) of the front breaking loose all the time. The Toyos are much stickier (yeah, non-technical term). I was amazed at the start from the line when you don't waste traction on squealing tires and the ESP light going off constantly. I went from stock, to P-Rossies, to Toyo T1S's, to wonderment and SEG's.

Well sure they are not ricy , but arent those used for Asian cars mainly
i never claimed they were bad, i was just told they got a high wear.
no idea if thats true
i pesonally liked Toyo or Yokohama.
but i dont want to be buying a new set of tires every few months

I bought a set of Yoko's, the AVS dB S2, because they are the quietest running tires I could find.
The performance level is more than I needed, but I really notice the low noise levels.

Yes, it came with the car. 30,000 miles. I can get more, but...
I ran flat last week with one of the tires. Could have gotten 5K more (this is due to my frequent tire rotation and air checks). They couldn't repair it and it would be odd to buy one new tire and 3 tires at the end of their life.
So I replaced them with even longer lasting all-season tires.
