Tire wear is also relative to your geographic location. The higher asphalt temperatures in the southern states softens the rubber compound. It may make the tire stick better, but it plays he11 on tire mileage. The same is also true when it comes to the composition of the asphalt mixtures used in different parts of the country. A coarse grade asphalt just chews the rubber up.
You are right about the hot temperature on asphalt road.

I average 14k to the set. Always keep an eye on the pressure and don't rely on those after market pressure monitors. IF the cap comes off and they have you'll find yourself with three round sides and one flat. The old fashion tire gauge is the way to go.
