what type of tyre is and what type of ridding did you do, also what was the temp like out, what was the tyre pressure like??

All of this can result in a tyre running out of tread quick, if it was a supper sticky and was low on air and warm out side then this could result in it running out quick.

Others than that I run Bridgestones Bt020's and I can get about 6k out of a rear and 10k out of a front.
