I just don't believe that is possible. I have 9,400 miles on my stock RE0-40's, and the front tires have to be replaced due to feathering.

I'm also at 14K+ with no feathering.

Just nice even wear all the way across (insides slightly more worn, but outsides rolled over more from hard cornering). However, I highly doubt there is any way I will hit 20K miles.

I'm almost down to the wear indicators now and will probably be able to get to 16K-18K, but that's about it.

16-18K is what you should expect from the OE tires, with a UTOG of 140(wear indicator for comparison purposes). Pity you are one of the few to reach it. And no feathering, maybe you should contact Nissan and tell them you have an anomaly? Pardon me, I'm still in reactive mode.
