FWIW: Let' hope things work out better for you than what I'm experiencing. I put Continental PureContact tires on my '12 Optima. I do 4-wheel alignments and balance/rotate every 5K miles. They are now at the wear bars at about 30K miles on them (70K mile warranty). I bought these via CarID with rims. While they drive great, I've had a very bad taste in my mouth for the tire life. I am having a similar experience with Pirelli Cinturato P7's on the wife's Rogue. ~30K miles is all about I seem to get even with relentless 4-wheel alignments and tire rotation (35psi). NOT happy!
What's up with today's all season tires???
Tire wear is largely due to driving conditions as well. Curvy roads, city driving, stop and go, rough roads, old pavement etc.
But that's what a tread life warranty is for. If you're at the wear bars that means your next set is 58% off

I currently have them on the Sonata and I'm underwhelmed.
Had to get a flat fixed a couple of weeks ago and the guy at Discount Tire noted that they were at about 5/32. I've only put about 36,000 miles on a 60,000 mile tire so it looks like I'll be getting some sort of pro-rated replacements soon.
Those tires start at only 8.5/32, which means at 5/32 you've got 42% of your tread left before you're at 2/32". At 10,285 miles per 1/32 of tread used, you've still got almost 31,000 miles left. Likely more since tire tread compound gets harder the lower the tread gets.
