As well as the quality and bias of the tyre, there is the format. By bias I mean generally the stickier the tyre, the shorter the live.
I've always found that low profile tyres seem to wear more quickly than higher profiles. When I used to have a company car and drive circa 45-50k per year, I had an X-Type Jag with 45 Profile tyres and even with branded tyres like Continental and Pirelli, typical life at the front was 18k - all worn out evenly (probably another 10k on the rear if I forgot to rotate them).
On all my XC Volvo's with 60 profile tyres (there have been 4) I get 40k+ out of a set of tyres.
