Replace tires after 6k miles?

Hi guys,
I have had my car for about a year now and it has about 6700 miles on it.
It looks like I will need to replace my tires. I drive a 16 F Type V6s. It has never been tracked, but I do drive it in dynamic mode.
When did everyone else have to change out there tires?
Is there a standard? I would have thought at lease 10k-12k miles.

6700 miles for rear tires would not be too shocking. That would be a bit low for the front tires in my opinion. The range that one person can get out of tires will vary wildly though. Someone here with a V8S could get 15,000 miles out of the same set that I might only get 5,000 miles out of. Restraint with the right foot will be the biggest factor. Another factor is the treadware rating of the tires you have that need replacing. Are these the OEM tires?

Got around 16K out of my P-Zeros, before I switched to MPSS. The rears were getting low on tread, though the fronts still had a fair amount left. Did one track day on the P-Zeros, but in general, I don't drive like a hooligan (much).
When the dealer reported my tread depth, they measured to the wear strips, while I measured the full depth. Not sure which is the right way, but they implied I had a lot less tread than I actually had. I've since bought a cheap tread gauge.

I'm kind of in hen same boat, except I need to replace them, want to wait for the new PS4S but I'll probably be showing cord by then, for the same price I don't want to get the out going model. What sort of deal did you get if you don't mind me asking?

Going back to the OPs Q, I suspect that the lack of a LSD may mean the V6 is harder on its rear tyres than other models, but I'm currently at 12k and will be replacing the rears shortly.
At least they're evenly worn. An Italian make I used to own had a reputation for destroying the inner edges of the driven tyres in <5k due to an alignment issue from the factory...

just replace the rear's. You may find yourself understeering a bit but you can adjust to that.

... thought I'd add some value (for a change!)...
