I replaced them at 50,000 kms, so they wore well. The replacements were Pirelli P7's which I think are better tyres in terms of steering feel, ride and quietness ... and with no tendency to aquaplane!

I know people hate on run flats, and I'm buying Michelin PSS next time, but the Summer Performance Pirelli P7's are phenominal.
They gripped on a wet freezing day of 30 deg F just before the pavement froze while other people had death grip on steering.
They gripped in Germany last June during deluge on autobahn at high speed.
They also grip very well dry as well as long wearing; I think I can get 30k miles.
You are right! They feel smooth and quiet on good roads.
