I read a review on Tirerack.com about them that said "I was rotating them";

Initial Review, 25,000 Miles on Tires

April 12, 2014

Fresh alignment, rotated regularly, and tire all worn to need of replacement after only 25,000 miles in 2 1/2 years. Very disappointed in overall life. The tread wear is even on all 4 tires, and car alignment done annually. With AWD on my XC70, one would expect even ware, as I did. Howevere tread life is now at .142, these tires are useless in Michigan winter conditions. On a positive note, the ride comfort and noise levels are fantastic!"

Then get 215/65R16 tires, they would be about an inch taller than the OEM size.
Coming back to this conversation, If I were to jump up to 16s would that change the odometer readings? The odometer is accurate with the current tires at least for a 126.6 mile trip.
