That's some insane tire life! Unfortunately, I'll never see that out of my Jeep, as unless you take corners at no more than 5mph, it's pretty hard on tires (seeing more than 30-40k from a set isn't terribly common). I'm going to try to make a few suspension changes to help that though, as it's mostly the fronts that wear (regular rotations help, but don't completely avoid the issue).
