In the past when living in Finland i did not manage such high mileage from my tyres, a maximum was between 6-10.000 miles.
The road surfaces here in Spain are really good and since there are no harsh winters they stay so.
One other secret for tyre longevity is that i never do burnouts, do not do 1st gear revving from traffic lights, and i almost never revv a cold engine (this applies to tyres too). I ride 40 highway miles daily to work, do some city riding if needed, tour a lot on the bike and occasionally i ride some great mountain twities with friends(scratching footpegs at way above legal speeds) the diablo stradas have coped with this kind of riding very well. my yearly mileage is around 13.000 miles, so a pair that last like the stradas would be ideal, meaning one tyre set per year.
