How many miles did you get out of your stock tires?

Holy crap how are some of you getting 30-40k miles out of the Bridgestone 19s? Y'all driving on rubber or something?
I am at about 20k miles on all 4 tires and I have about what looks like 3k on the rears and 5-6k on the fronts. I drive gentle to spirited and hard rarely, no track days.
I recently hydroplaned on the highway in heavy rain and the car slid a little bit but traction kicked in. So basically I want to squeeze another 3-5k miles out of these tires but I'm gonna avoid driving in heavy rain, and just be cautious in moderate rain.
I'm hoping to get more mileage and some traction in light snow on those new all-season Yokohama AVID ENVigor Tires. Needless to say I will have to sacrifice a little summer dry road handling.

What are the stock Bridgestones? Mine had Dunlops

I just replace the Dunlops with Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Positions. Are those the OEM Bridgestones?

Not sure how normaly it'd be for stock, but I have a drop and mine are going bald on the inside as well. I should've gotten my alignment done earlier, I left it alone for a bit over a month and that really ate up the insides. I'm at 31.3K right now and my backs are fine, but my fronts are getting bad. I think I can squeeze another 3-4K out of them though, but I'll probably have new tires before then.

I believe some G's had Dunlops as stock. I find it hard to believe that I bought a used 2008 G with 16k miles that had already been through a set of tires and now a potential second set (the Dunlops) were worn pretty good (2 out of the 4).
