Normal Tire Wear

New to this site, excuse me if this is an old topic but I can't seem to see what I'm looking for. My wife drives the '08 EX and has reached 30k miles and tires appear to be done. Extremely loud rumble on the road, cupping (Maybe some feathering)on all 4 tires.

My question is- Is this normal for the EX/FX? Is 30k considered a lot of miles on a V rated tire? My Yukon can go almost 50k before we notice road noise like this, or is this normal noise from EX's?

Thanks, glad to be here, I usually get the "old" car when we buy a new one, have 4 vehicles now and growing, so I may drive the EX soon!
 
Unfortunately I haven't gone through a set of tires from start to finish, but I can tell you I'm on my third set in about 20k miles and 2.5 years of ownership. First set was the OEM runflats and I don't know if they came brand new at 0 miles or when I got it at 25k miles, but they were gone after about 8 months. Got new wheels around 45k miles, 1.5 years later, and new tires then. My old tires were still ok, but noticeably lower than the new ones (same tire).

So, in short, I've noticed that the tires seem to burn out rather fast. Personally, I liken it to my driving style though.
