I replaced my rear tire (stock) at 6800 miles, and the stock replacement only lasted 5000 miles, so with less than 12,000 miles I was on my third rear tire.
I replaced the front stock tire at 9000 miles, and the stock replacement at 15,000 miles
That is proof enough for me, less mileage = softer tire

If you got that kinda mileage out of it, why not. Or should I say that I don't blame you one bit, I however have not been that lucky.
