Now at 19K+ looks like I might get 21K or 22K. And yes, they have been rotated. For what I regard as a basic grocery getter, this is unacceptable. What brands have others had good tire life from?

Continentals, right? My 07 ml350 that I bought certified with 23k on the odo had the fronts replaced by the dealer at purchase as they were shot, and the rears were at 1/2. Now at 34k, the rears have about a 1/4 and the new fronts are at a bit over 1/2. I am told it is the tires, and the Michelin and Bridgestone both make tires in the OE size for the 19"s in the sport package, and that they do much better wear wise.
