Huh, that's not too much.
I got Teresa with a pair of used Metzeler Z6s, and those lasted ~21000km. I was satisfied with them so I replaced them to a new pair of Z6s. Those are quite weary too now, I'll get them replaced this spring. It'll be ~27500km for them with pretty much 2-up usage. The workshop has some Heidenau which are optimized for rain, they say - I may give them a try, last year was very rainy. I worry a bit that their RR could be higher, though.
