Tread life of stock RFT tires?

I found that the rears were pretty good up until about 8-9k miles, but then went south VERY quickly. I changed them at 14k, but I honestly should have done it at 12k, or maybe even a little sooner. It seems to me that once they hit a certain point they start to wear much faster.

15 000 KM (not mile) on my factory Bridgestone Potenza RE50 and the rear one were bald ... I mean very bald. wire was showing of on both of them ! I realy hated those run flat !!

I replace them with Yokohama S-Drive
