with the assumption that if you lower the car you do get your alignment back into spec with the correct camber arms and such, I see no reason why anyone can't get 20k miles on their tires. Sure, if you take every corner like you are on a track you are going to wear them out much quicker, but if it's your daily driver then 20k miles is not unreasonable.

Personally I drive pretty laid back most of the time. about 5-10% of the time I'll drive aggressively. I got over 25k miles out of the stock sentra se-r spec-v tires that came on the '08's. I believe they were continential conti-sport 2's or something like that with low tread depth brand new and a very low treadwear rating.
