How long should my tyres be lasting, I wonder? The posh commuter

(it's been a hard time, what with having a two-year old in the house
and living too close to work) that I've not done more than five
thousand miles on this bike. (It gives way to the tatty commuter
in bad weather -- floods and the two days of snow, anyway -- or when
carrying spuds from the allotment, and we haven't done any serious
touring for a while.)
I don't reckon to get more than about 3-5,000 miles out of a pair of road
tyres. Heavy touring tyres may do better, but nice grippy rubber is by
definition soft.
