When I first got my TCH, I measured the tread depth. New was 9/32 on the outer grooves, and 10/32 on the inner grooves. At 4K miles, I'm seeing just shy of 1/32 wear, pretty even across all 4 tires. It is a bit early to extrapolate, but it appears the Bridgestones will only last about 35K miles.

As I just passed 35K miles I wanted to post an update on how the tires are wearing. All four are wearing evenly, measuring a hair over 5/32 on the inner grooves and just over 4/32 on the outer grooves. The tire noise has increased noticably and is a bit annoying on some roads.
I'll most likely be replacing these between 40K and 45K miles. I've been looking at replacement LRR tires and so far am considering
Pirelli P4 Four Seasons,
Yokohama AVID TRZ, and the
Michelin Energy MXV4. If anyone has suggestions or opinions let me know.
