Totally depends on the tire, and to a slighlty lesser extent, the car, the driver, and how the tires are cared for (maintaining the proper inflation).
Look at the treadwear rating to get a comparison. Some of the most expenseive tires, designed for high performance cars, are made of soft rubber and will wear out fast. But, they perform better.
A decent radial on a typical family sedan could give you up to about 50k km., assuming you drive "normal", your car is not unusually heavy, and you check the pressure once a month or so.

I just watched the Michelin tire sales commercial about replacing two tires and was pretty entertained. If I have a car with four tires wearing normally, the front tires on a front wheel drive car (which do the twisting and turning) will wear out first by a significant margin. By changing the front tires only, I will get double the life from a set of rear tires. Since when I have to buy tires, I not only buy the tread (the part that wears out), but the side wall, the bead, and (of course) the taxes, balancing and valve stems) It makes sense to keep the rear tires on the rear AS LONG AS THEY ARE SAFE. If not, the tire dealer should warrantee them like any other tire. The tire commercial seems to indicate that fleeing a police pursuit can be hazardous with bad tires. The commercial does not indicate what condition the other tires, the driver, or the fear of fleeing the police had to do related to the accident. In other words, Michelin recommends that if you feel you are going to get into a police pursuit, be sure you have new tires. This kind of commercial is called FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) and is used to sell a product, not as a scientific test. As the commercial states, both drivers are professional drivers, on a closed course under exact conditions. Meaning the blue car driver was putting the car into a drift to film a commercial to sell tires. The tire commercial DOES bring up a good point: If you are driving too fast, on wet pavement, the car might skid. Even with new tires, the cars in the commercial may lose control. With the lower traction tires on the front, the front wheels will break away and the car will not continue around the curve, and will slam into the guard rail (not with a professional driver tho) So basically, according to Michelin, replace all four tires every 5,000 miles, stay out of the rain. And don't run from the Police. *sigh*
