On my 3rd front and 4th rear at 8100 miles

I think you're a special case...

Mileage on your front tire will depend on how you ride,type of riding, and maintenance. Tire pressure is a big part of it, tires that are underinflated will deteriorate faster than a well maintained air pressure. If you ride a lot of straight roads at sustained speeds you're tire will deteriorate faster. Use of the front brakes (I neglect my rear brake) more than the rear also makes a big difference. It all varies from rider to rider with respect to their riding style and tire maintenance.
