Default life of stock tires?

I did a quick search as I'm sure this has been discussed, but I couldn't find it... Sorry in advance if this is repetative.

How many miles can you expect to get out of your stock duelers? I see that the website shows a "limited mileage warranty" of 50k miles... Are people really getting that much out of them?

I just hit 50k and I'm on my originals. I've definitely noticed a larger amount of wear recently and will probably be replacing them in the next month or so.

I got 45,000 out of mine and they were still decent when I upgraded. Rotated them about every 5,000 miles.

No doubt, hoping my GY SRA's don't last past 10K. Resale on those suck, the wife don't understand. Don't think I will be rotating these things...
