Expected tread life

What would be a reasonable expected tread life on a brand new set of Dunlop RFT 18" 255/55? Driven reasonably, no burning rubber, or other kind of abuse.

I got 15K-18K on my Dunlop Sport MAXX 20".

Ah, CA could be canada I guess. I am saying miles (California). 18" with high profile side walls will be more forgiving.

And of course it all depends on how lucky you got with the new car alignment...

15k - 18k at max, tires are not that great for mileage to price ratio
