Someone gave me a like on a previous post, so figured I'd circle back on this thread.
Over my 5+ years with a Model X; I've ridden on 20" wheels, 22" wheels and used every OEM tire. I've also gone out and purchased on my own Nokian tires as well as DWS06. I don't recall the exact mileages anymore but I don't think any of them lasted more than 30,000 miles. Some only lasted 10-15,000 (OEM Conti Silents - 3 sets)
While the outer tread was good and there was good depth remaining in the middle, the inner treads of the rear tires would be destroyed by the camber on my car; despite annual alignments at the SC. The WRG3 as an example had 6/32 remaining in the middle with the outers worn. The DWS06 are at 8/32 with the inner worn.
In the end I sold my 20" wheels and decided to run a single all season set instead of swapping between 20"s in the winter and 22"s in the summer and run solely on the DWS06. They've been problem free in the snow, better than the OEM ContiSilents actually. Extremely confident in the rain. The ride is good and road noise is minimal. I expect to be repurchasing and going into my 2nd set by the end of this year.
YMMV with your driving habits. My car went into Low at highway speeds and 70% of my driving is highway. There's an occasional trailer hooked up, and I throw the car around as if it was a Mazda Miata. If you dont drive like the maniac that I am, I would expect your wear to be better.
