New shoes for baby

You may be right. My own experience with tire rotation says that other tire maintenance is perhaps more important, however. Case in point is my previous vehicle which was a 2004 GMC Envoy SLT. It came equipped with Michelin P245/65R17 Cross Terrain tires. As with every vehicle I've owned over the past 50 years, I NEVER rotated them. I did however strictly maintain tire pressure and wheel alignment. These original tires yielded 82K miles over 4 years before being replaced with another set of the same tires.

Now obviously these are two different types of vehicles and I sure as hell drive the Z more aggressively than I did my truck so I don't disagree that I may not get 60K miles on the new "shoes". OTOH, I'm not nearly as pessimistic as you are about the end result. After all, I got 25K miles from those soft summer performance Yokohamas. Like I said originally, time will tell.
