I'm beginning to think that rapid wear is typical of European tyres. The Mondeo wagon that I've just bought has a set of Goodyear Excellence tyres, which is clearly not a performance tyre. The vehicle has done 14,000 kms and the front tyres are both down to 4mm on the outside shoulders. The obvious plan was to rotate them with the rears, but these are already down to 5 mm!
So I doubt that I'll get much more than 30,000 kms from the set. Compare this to the Potenza RE001 on my previous wagon which still have at least 6mm of tread after the same mileage.
