Seem to emphacize noise as they get worn. I've found that especially with Nokian NRYs.
First of all, 52KK is pretty good mileage for all around use. Mostly highway? You'll get a lot more. Sporty in town or twisty road driving? You'll get less. Always remember - there's a trade off between grip and longevity, although today's materials are much improved and UTQG "400 class" tires can have better performance that the UTQG "200 class" tires of years past.
If the goal is to use the full measure of tread depth while enjoying a quiet ride throughout, I'm guessing that tires like the Conti Sport Contac II or III, or the Michelin PS2, would meet that goal better than something like Nokian NRYs.
